Hear all the voices that won't let me leave
whether or not they are real or perceived
to be in my own head suffocating
my heart is heavy, thorns stab where I breathe

My sorrow is just like another day
I now feel pain that surrounds where I lay
my veins ache as blood pounds inside my skin
but with friends I can take the pain okay

My mother tried to help prevent my fall
she told me that I couldn't save them all
I guess that also means myself as well
for I one day will hit the ground and crawl

But how depressing am I to say this
It won't be fixed with a handshake or kiss
but with the determination to live
that is something I had that I do miss

Maybe my mother was right all this time
that I can't save them all with this small rhyme
but I could most definitely try to
reach out so others and myself can climb

I'm a cycle of happiness and pain
I think I can see through the pouring rain
Look! There is shelter not too far ahead
There is the place which will help me stay sane

Now that I realize that we all regress
into our shells when we are in distress
but we can always come back out and try again
because all of us are works in progress

Red flames burning into my soul,
i'm looking for the light,
a glow.
But all I find is the raging inferno inside of me,
leaving those stinging pink wounds
of Hell in my body.
Where is God?
I met the Devil and the other demons,
where is my light?
I can feel it growing stronger,
the pain, it's too much.
But wait, could it be?
There is a clash of light and dark
exploding in my mind
and I don't know what the outcome will be
when the Devil and God clash inside of me.

There is fire in your soul,
there is fire in your heart.
My brother you must understand
that is the light in your dark,
it always comes from your heart.
