This calm you see within me
Is sometimes a raging storm
Drowning out my senses
'Til I can't feel anymore
Sometimes the raging storm
Becomes my calmest time of all
The beauty of destruction
Strengthens me, restoring all
The darkness that surrounds me
Seeks to gain complete control
Not seeing that my weaknesses
Are stronger than they seem
This light you see within me
Is the shadow of my soul
Shining with the brilliance
Of a thousand broken dreams
If you see me as a stranger
Then a stranger you must be
For I have felt your every pain
And you the same of me
We're rattling our cages
'Til we understand our flaws
These truths I understand
Do you understand at all?
