In my poisoned arms
You can hear the muffled screams of my heart
Lurking in the shadows is a face
In the darkness, too hard to see

I've been wallowing in self pity
Swallowed by my own delusions
Trapped by my inner confusion
Crumbling under pressure of words

There's some feeling left in there
It is so empty, it is devoid of belief
But I do care now
Because you stirred my soul

I'm a victim of my own carelessness
A lifeless shadow of the past
Has convinced me to let go
Before the first step is walked

If I start now
It need not be perfect, right?
If I find love
It'll be because you walked in my life
