When the world closes in
Everything seems so fragile
In this chamber of silence
I stay awake in this vacant mind

Solitary thoughts passes my time
Lost in my reveries
I linger in my secret sorrow
I was born in shadows

dream yet [bad word] [bad word] 
This faint picture
Of soaring the skies
The eminent reason for peace

To smile back at the world
The pillar of light
Solemnly you stand
Keeping the dark at bay

I stumble to my knees
Reaching for you
As each scar reminds me
The weight of darkness
burden of what came to be me

I still have a long way to go
