You are my light
You illuminate my existence
Take it from me
I've been to hell and back
The ghost of the choices
I made in the past
Come haunting
My dreams, day and night
Taunting
Unrelenting
Even as I wallowed
In utter contentment
How could I not be
When all I've known
Is the dark
Take it from me
The only thing that's positive
About the dark
Is how much it helps you
Appreciate the light
Never again opting
For the dead
Among the living
You are my light,
The way your soul reflects upon mine
Drying up my fears
Giving meaning to my living -
- You illuminate my existence.

You are my light
You illuminate my existence
Take it from me
I've been to hell and back
The ghost of the choices
I made in the past
Come haunting
My dreams, day and night
Taunting
Unrelenting
Even as I wallowed
In utter contentment
How could I not be
When all I've known
Is the dark
Take it from me
The only thing that's positive
About the dark
Is how much it helps you
Appreciate the light
Never again opting
For the dead
Among the living
You are my light,
The way your soul reflects upon mine
Drying up my fears
Giving meaning to my living -
- You illuminate my existence.
