In the Dark

The broken clock is a stranger
The absence of measured ticks
Keeps me lost in a silence
That used to be brief

Now its only my breath
Fogging up the glass
My vision filled
With man's starlight

The darkness between lamps
Reflects the chasm in me

I've found my smiles
I've found my loves
I've cried my tears
But I'm still bleeding
My cuts have healed
My voice is strong
My will like never before
But I'm still pleading...

Sleepless nights are so common
Filled with escape
And doubts
Laying still in the dark

Quietly breathing...

Its not like I'm lost
Wandering through life
My grip is strong
I'm not falling anywhere

Quietly breathing...

But I see the ugly truth of life
Of what it means to be us
And I wonder if we're meant to fade someday
Into the dark

Every star eventually goes out
Is shining so bright
Worth that honest pain?

Is this the end...
Hardly breathing...
Pain deeper than a broken heart

I've found my smiles
I've found my loves
I've cried my tears
But I'm still bleeding
My cuts have healed
My voice is strong
My will like never before
But I'm still pleading...

Quietly breathing....
