I tried for years to keep my hope alive, I vowed against all odds that I’d survive. The good inside came bleeding out till none of it remained, And anger was the one thing I retained… I felt the cuts and watched my insides burn… And as they broke me down, I came to learn That hope is even crueler than a myriad of scars, But I was blinded by the light that beckoned through my bars… I broke the rules and dared to trust my heart. The game was set against me from the start…. I paid an awful price, but in the end, it had to be… To open my eyes and get me to finally see… That the light… It starts to fade away… All my hope… Destined to drain away… Had the world Just simply stayed away! It’s a harbinger of pain. Once the light is out, The dark remains. I tried to give the world the best I had, And in return, internalized the bad. The poison used against me ate through my very soul, And rage was all I found to fill the hole… Within the light, forgiveness is divine. But in the darkness, vengeance will be mine. I’m cut off from compassion and my heart is running cold, While fear and fury gradually take hold. And the light… It starts to fade away… All my hope… Destined to drain away… Had the world Just simply stayed away! Now I’ve nothing left to gain. Once the light is out, The dark remains. I drove away the light till I was numb… And no one knows the monster I’ve become… I’ve run all out of patience to take it on the chin, So now the world is paying for my sins! And the light… It starts to fade away… All my hope… Destined to drain away… Had the world Just simply stayed away! But it’s driven me insane. Once the light is out, The dark remains.
