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
