Can you tell me now
Of the darkest color you know
Is it as black as the night
Or as murky as my soul

Is it as dark as the space
Where all your demons hide
Or as black as the box
That you keep your happiness inside

Is it darker still
Than any color that's seen
Or even darker than that
The color of a nightmarish dream

Into every darkness
There must peer a little light
I wish I could be that ray for you
And be perfect in your sight

I long to shine the light of love
In to the places you don't dare go
I want to split the darkness
So I can make you glow

What do I do
When I feel your love slipping away
Do I just let it go
With so much left to say

Do I fight for a love
I can't make you feel
Resign myself to sorrow
Return my heart to steel

Do I stay to the bitter end
Until all hope is gone
Or do I just lick my wounds
And try to soldier on

After all that was said
And promises were made
How can I live my life
In a world where your love fades

I've been a rescuer
All of my life
Give me the underdog
With an armload of strife

I take to the lost causes
And things unattended
I have a longing to help
When the world seems ended

Strays and mongrels
Hold kinship with me
Those who hide in the shadows
The ones unseen

Wanderers and lost souls
With holes for hearts
The ones who are lost
Right from the start

I AM YOU

Truth or dare, electric chair
There was something in her eyes
Leaving home we start to roam
As we're falling towards the skies

Death and life through the strife
As we rush to meet our fate
Breaking stones across our bones
We try to wipe the slate

A mountain of guilt already built
Of the sins strewn through the past
Dark and strange, though trying to change
Afraid the mold has been cast

What good is a life
If you are afraid to live
What good is a gift
If you refuse to give

What good is a heart
Where there is no soul
What good is the sun
When you are buried in your hole

What good is the rain
When the seeds haven't been sewn
What good are directions
When there is no way home

Just live your life
And give your gift
Cleanse your heart and soul
Bask in the sun for a bit

Dance in the rain
While your seeds of hope are sewn
Remember this bit of advice
Eventually, all roads lead home

I wish you could give me shelter
But not keep me from the rain
I wish that you could need me
And not be overwhelmed by my pain

I wish I could be desired
And wanted from time to time
I wish I could capture your heart
And have you by my side

I wish I had all the answers
Or even some sort of clue
I wish I had your heart
I wish that I had you

All of your walls
Keep me in the dark
And so block my attempts
To win your heart

I've had escorted tours
To the edge of your life
Bunt never allowed too close
To the feelings you hide

You seem to keep your emotions
Tied, locked, and bound
Afraid to share your soul
For fear of being let down

I have come with hopes
I can find my way inside
That you see who I really am
Let me breathe love into your life
