Life wasn't quite the same
When my tears ran dry
You turned your back on me
I recalled the night you died in my arms
But then I woke up and sighed
It was all in my head this time
An initial on the dotted line
Signed my life away
Try again another day
Another way to pass the time
Not another misstep passed the starting line
Another cry out to the divine
I let it cloud and blur out my mind
Rearrange, revive my life
Stay alive
Guiding light within
(Carve my way to you)
Bring me to clarity
Passion and purpose
Determined to fight for my life
(Follow the guiding light)
Stay alive
Guiding light within
(Mind you, find you, guide you, light you)
I'm running out of breath
I'm running out of time
Could this be the end
Or the starting line
Death brings a peace of mind
That I never thought that I would find in you
But then I locked eyes
Not seeing straight, terrorized
Tell me that I'll be alright
Day to day
(Day or night)
As long as you are in my sight I'll find the way
(I'll find the light)
You'll pull me back from my own blight
I'm scared to do this on my own
You pulled me from this broken home
And saved what I hold close
There is something to be said about the resiliency of the mind
Constantly adapting, even when the light is but a wisp of a flame
A prismatic ray of light guiding you through the thick of it
All in search of something greater
In search of a clearer path
In search of a dream that would one day become reality
Beyond fleeting thoughts
(Scream) A life of my own
Stay alive
Guiding light within
(Carve my way to you)
(Bring me to clarity)
Passion and purpose
Determined to fight for my life
(Follow the guiding light)
(Ooo)
(Mind you, find you, guide you, light you)
I'm running out of breath
I'm running out of time
Could this be the end
Or the starting line

One, two, three, go
Lost in the clouds
The winds are changing
Dragging me down
Nowhere to land my
Feet upon the ground
Cold air bites
It cuts right through me
My hands held tight
My mind is racing
Rounding the curve
Breaking the bend
Flying 'til the
Day gives way to night
Until sunrise
Broken thoughts
My mind is lost in translation
No way for me to find my way
(Back home)
Pull me out
I'm stuck
I'm sinking
I am drowning
But no more
Snap me out of this
I'll code switch, buy my way in
Come on
Pacing on
The steps echo through
The silent night
The moonlight so bright
Light the path
That leads before me
Paved in stone
A fake, a forgery
(Light the way)
The way in front of me
(Have a say)
My voice is torn
(It's only you)
Get me out of my head
(Make it through)
I can't get you out of my mind
Broken thoughts
My mind is lost in temptation
No way for me to find my way
(Back home)
Let me down
I'm hanging on by just a thread
Cut me out of this
A code switch, blending in

What will it take
Ease me from the ache
A split path
A synapse snapped in half
Destined to travel a fate I ignored
The strings they are pulling
They're fraying
I'm running out of time
Spiraling into madness
Descendant of the fallout
A failure of your own demise
Test your faith
My resolve is fading
A light burnt out
A crack in the foundation
The path is split up
My choices are not mine to
Find the light in your life
It's your to decide
Design your empire
Or claim your demise
(On my knees I beg to you)
Far too many words left unspoken
(Speak to me)
Failure by design
Left to die
I stand here and watch
Your blank stare does confirm
What I am inside
Is my own selfish curse
I've tossed it aside
My crown and my shield
All that's left is a husk
Of what I once thought was real
Open up your eyes
You'll want to see the road instead
It's in disguise, no one
To light the way ahead
No time to reminisce
The walls are closing in
Feel your way out
It's not too late if you
Find the light in your life
It's your to decide
Design your empire
Or claim your demise
(On my knees I beg to you)
Far too many words left unspoken
(Speak to me)
Failure by design
Left to die
