When things began to crumble
And nothing seemed quite right
I was locked inside myself
Awaiting my demise

But even in the darkness
A tiny beam of light
A little shard of hope
To save me from this life

Devoid of feeling
Nothing but a shade
Emptiness and heartache
A dangerous charade
Pretending completely
That this life was fine
Until the ending
That fateful time

Ready to surrender
To finally give in
All set to be broken
Stretched infinitely thin

But a forgotten voice
Turned night to day
A light in the shadows
Showed me the way

Devoid of feeling
Nothing but a shade
Emptiness and heartache
A dangerous charade
Pretending completely
That this life was fine
Until the ending
That fateful time

We aren’t all so lucky
There is no second chance
I almost lost my path then
But that night was in the past

The light was nearly blinding
Even with shadows all around
I followed the hand that guided me
And I found my solid ground
