I’ve lost my sense of gravity, lost every shred of patience
My head’s spinning one way and the Earth the other
The only gravity I understand is that of the situation
Doomed to the darkness, the fate of a broken mother

Hope lives on, too strong to die,
Or maybe I just won’t let it?
If I let go I’d do nothing but cry,
And people would surely forget it.

But how can I let that happen,
When my baby was taken from me,
And I’m still searching for answers,
Without which I’ll never be free?

Did you need to strike out on your own?
Did you have the help of a friend?
Should we be raising exposure?
Questions remain in this gaping black hole
That ruptured through my empty soul.
What happened, where did you go?
And how did your story end?
Should we be chasing closure?

I’ve lost all shred of sanity, lost my sense of peace
My body is weak but my head and heart still fight
I’m sinking into insanity searching for my missing piece
Doomed to the darkness, lost to the light

Dread seeps in, in the dead of night
Haunted by ghosts and wraiths
It’s a battle to hold on ‘til the morning light
When I try to regain my faith

And then I disappoint myself
For giving in to dismay
And somehow I find the strength
To fight another day

Did you need to strike out on your own?
Did you have the help of a friend?
Should we be raising exposure?
Questions remain in this gaping black hole
That ruptured through my empty soul.
What happened, where did you go?
And how did your story end?
Should we be chasing closure?
