Apportioned like madness in season
Bracing all like a breaking of reason
With every night lost, and every day torn
With a drama feeling calmer it's a comma in the storm
Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain
I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wire
And night, i'll never be free

In this darkness, please light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore
I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
I can't break what i held, and it never was true
In the mirror what i said was a lie to you
And me and everything i see and everything i could
I tried so hard to be good
For myself for you for the hidden and divine
For everything
But i can fail just so many times

In this darkness, please light my way

I can't stop when i feel like stopping
At 5 a.m just cry shoot copping
The perfect life was enough for you
But never enough to see my through
For all the lies that were spoken in ways
And the way we lived was an affront to the days
It was an affront to the things we cared about
An affront to everything we cared about.

In this darkness, please light my way
