(song)
What if the night sky
Refused to give way to day?
What if the grey never lifted,
And I lost my way
What if those bright stars
Are all tally mark scars
Recording every mistake that I make,
My freedoms outside these skeletal bars
Ohhhhhh
I don't like this feeling,
I'm feeling it winning
And I just want to be okay
This disorder is master,
No matter my counter
I can't seem to get out my way
Someone please see me,
Please hear my silent pain
I've wondered this road for too long
Confusing what's right and what's wrong
I'm not asking to save me,
Just shelter me from the rain
I've been on this path far too long
How is it that I'm always wrong
What if the bad days
Overtake all the good
What if the best of me isn't allowed to shine
Like it should
What if this darkness
Consumes all the light
What if the hand that extends out to help
Just never feels right
Ohhhhhh
I hope and I pray
That one day I can say
I made it despite my history
Please let there be time
To care for me and mine
Before reading my eulogy
Someone please see me,
Please hear my silent pain
I've wondered this road for too long
Confusing what's right and what's wrong
I'm not asking to save me,
Just shelter me from the rain
I've been on this path far too long
How is it that I'm always wrong
What if the line blurs
And I get caught backwards
No one there to kick the chair or care
Afterwards
I can't fight the good fight,
My defenses are down
I'm desperate for some kind of help,
I must be the falling tree making no sound
Ohhhhhh
I'm hopeless and helpless
I can't seem to stop this
From defining my roll in life
The strife and abuse
From inside leads me to an out
At the edge of a dull knife
Someone please see me,
Please hear my silent pain
I've wondered this road for too long
Confusing what's right and what's wrong
I'm not asking to save me,
Just shelter me from the rain
I've been on this path far too long
How is it that I'm always wrong
