Finding Beauty in Dark Places

There’s a shadow around every corner

The closer they get I get torn

You love to watch as I get tortured

Imprisoned with my own chains

I feel as though I was the one to blame

My insides are on fire

I feel so damn dead of my life

 

My phobia is settling in

I’m trapped here in this prison

My life is now my imagination

Reality is starting to slip

I’m stuck in my own prison

Contemplating cutting my wrist

Does this pain ever end?

 

I need someone in my life

I need someone to show the light

I need someone to hold me tight

Teach me wrong from right

You just want everyone to hurt

You make the world feel the burn

 

I need you to say goodbye

I want someone to help me through this

I feel so stained

My legs are paralyzed

I guess I’ll never get my way

As I fall on the broken lines

I guess I’ll be trapped for life

 

Alone I can feel the shame

I am afraid I will be so lost

That I won’t find a way

I will never understand

Why that I am half a man

All that I know that

Your hand helps me stand
