When all the doors are shut, not a single light
A strand of hope, all out of sight
When life has lost all meaning and reason
When you can’t find yourself at the darkest season
You find it hard to even breathe anymore
How can you find yourself, how can you restore
That soul of yours that has been overwhelmed with black
It’s distanced itself because it’s under attack
You want to stop fighting because you think that you’ve lost
You think that they’ve won, no matter what cost
But no- remember that even though you can’t see it just yet
You’re almost there, even though you haven’t met
The light awaits you in screaming shades
It’s glowing brightly, reach before it fades
People have tortured and used your heart
Killing it slowly - dart by dart
But you have stood there through it all
Curiosity, pain and love you bore
Despite all the things you have been through
Secrets have been tattooed on you
Your heart of ink is slowly crumbling
Your helpless, withering, stumbling
The rest of the world in colours bright
Yet you’re in shades of black and white
Afraid of the world, the monsters that rule the dark
Afraid to stand alone, to make your mark
Afraid to see the night
Because you can no longer see a light
But what has gotten you through it all?
What has made you bear it all?
It was because when all the doors against your soul
You saw the light of the spectacular keyhole
