Eternal Darkness

I want to walk without fear
Want to smile and know it's real
I want to belong here
Want to understand what I feel

It's as if I'm walking through night
And the day never comes to guide me
And as I hard as I try to do this right
There's nobody walking beside me

It’s so hard to face your fears alone
To stand up against who you've become
But at the end of day if you have no home
Then you can't turn to anyone

You can't fight this thing this way
And I need support, love and care
But this night never turns to day
And in the dark, I see that nobody’s there

So I stumble on witness to my own pain
Hand on my heart I didn't know
That when it started to rain
That this is how far the damp would go

Didn't know it could kill me
But then again I never stopped to think
Just let the painful waters fill me
The lies and tears, unable to swim … I sink.
