I’ve been here waiting
Not sure for what
The storyline
It lacks a plot

It keeps on going
And never stops
The pain keeps growing
I try to connect the dots

I get no answers
For questions made
We shine our brightest
Before we fade

I see little reason
To hang around
I’m in a hurry
To where I’m bound

I get no comfort
From sunny days
The time is now
No more delays

I’m never up
I’m always down
My place on earth
Is underground

Life continues
The world goes on
It makes no difference
Whether I’m here or gone

I don’t mean
To sound so drab
Life for me
Ain’t all that bad

I’ll come around
I’ll find my cause
I’ll bow my head
To the crowds applause

But for now
The lights grow dim
A reflection of
The shape I’m in

Until I find
What will set me free
I’ll kneel down
On bended knees

I feel shot out
I’ve been deprived
I’ll accept
What’s to decide

I’ve got no resolve
My fight is weak
I’m in a hole
I’m in too deep

I can’t get out
I can’t retreat
If I’ve got a soul
It’s fast asleep

I paid the toll
To cross the street
I won the prize
Even in defeat

I played it right
I didn’t cheat
I rolled the dice
And took the leap

On just the chance
Just on a whim
Above the clouds
The sun creeps in

I feel its warmth
Upon my face
It sets the mood
That’s taking place

My eyes are closed
I’m half awake
Not getting sleep
Was my mistake

I listen close
Hear my heart break
It’s so much more
Than one can take

I’m ill equipped
To change my mood
I’m ill equipped
It’s understood

I’m on a journey
Not sure to where
When I arrive
Will you be there?

I need a guide
Someone that cares
Nothing else
Can quite compare

I head to my room
I take the stairs
You gently knock
But I’m unaware

What’s beyond my bedroom door?
What’s underneath
My bedroom floor?

I’ll always wonder
Forever more
Forever more
Forever more
The dark can be all consuming.
Stay in the light.
