I know you've been calling,
for a long time
but the sunshine never came,
the rain just poured in

I am clawing at my brain,
feeling like there's demons in there
gnawing
that I can't escape,
I need your help, to take them away

Your words have the magic, that I lack in
'cause the darks, back again
and I'm captive to it,
like a kidnapper, with a ransom note,
that nobody pays

The pain hits me, I get on my knees
and pray
hoping tomorrow, will be a better day
It's gotta be, 'cause I can't cope with this
it's clouded black and I'm surrounded
lost in a fog of, madness
swept away in a sea of, sadness

I don't know what's gonna happen
to me,
my soul is torn in tatters,
like fabrics worn out, coming apart at the seams
gotta fix myself back together and follow my dreams
'fore it's too late,
my fate awaits to be seen

It seems the latter option, is for me to give in, easily
so I'll go for the former
and go for, and control my destiny
don't underestimate me
I shall restore, the aspect of respect, successfully

and what's more, everything that was stripped from me,
ripped from me, had a grip of me
but not anymore,
I had an epiphany
I awoke from the chokehold that restricted me

Chest is rested, I feel blessed with a
second chance to be connected,
resurrected and reject the negative
influences,
I'm through with it
I won't accept it
they don't expect it, my voice to
raise so they can hear it,
'cause for years I feared it

Now I gotta push through that one
last strand, I hang onto, of hope
to
hope I can pull myself up this rope and clear it
land on my feet and pursue this feeling
I'm reeling the strength, I need to
complete the road that's ahead
'cause, now I see it so clearly

To think, I nearly wrote myself off
when I crashed, then I wouldn't be here to know
I'd get past that fast and come to grow,
all these things, I didn't know, before

They gave me power, so I could show myself,
I owe myself, to not let go
go full blast, show them *******
what I'm capable of
and keep 'em on their toes
