For so long my life was darkness
Light rare as mid-summer snow

Night no different than day
Trapped amid the stench of dreams in decay

I sought escape
For who could ever cherish such a fate

Wind screaming my failures as it tore past
Rain cold as death drove me to my knees

I crawled blind through mud thick as despair
Desperately trying not to drown

Choking on lies fed to me by those that past
Swallowing betrayal from the ones I loved

In my desperation to breath
I submitted to the disease that had become my life

Until I no longer sought escape
I designed to accept my fate

I never planned for you
Nor the day you lifted me up into the sky

But I'm still trapped in night
Just now amid a storm

You're flashes of lightening
Bright enough to light my blackest night

But then you're gone
And I'm once again in night

Waiting for the crash of thunder
To drive me back into the ground
