Picking apart the pieces of my broken dreams
Unsure if everything is really what it seems
Afraid my life will always be this way
Letting go of hurt is so much harder than you say

I never wanted you to see the darkness that lives inside of me
I wish my mind would rest a night and for once just let me be
It twists inside and burrows deep. It's growing stronger. It doesn't sleep.
It growls a warning and bares its teeth
And then it lashes out at me

It's hard to breathe, I'm suffocating now
I'm trapped inside. I can't find a way out
Eyes filled with tears, heart filled with doubt
I accept my fate as my hope bleeds out

Barley conscious laying broken on the floor
I hear a noise in the distance
I fear it's coming back for more.
I close my eyes and brace myself, too weak to handle anymore.

I expect to feel pain, but to my surprise, your warm embrace signals that we've won the war
I open my eyes to see you staring back at me.
You tell me everything's alright and remind me to breathe.
Your kisses heal my heart and taste of sweet relief.
My knight of light has slayed the darkness that once lived inside of me.
