The darkness lifted me
And dropped me to a place
Where all my choices
Were guided by elusive voices
Where all my thoughts were planted
By the same evil hands
That painted the world black
Every time I blink my eyes
I wake up in a loud place
In a place that
I had never seen before
Every time I open my eyes
I wake up in a strange place
A place that
I had never seen before
I need to find a quiet place
I need to take a little time
I need to heal up
I need to be fine
I need to find a better place
I need to save whatever life they left me
I need to be
Where they've got no claim on me
This is not the life I would have chosen
This is not the place I would have chosen
This is just
A cruel and bitter life
This is just another thing that makes me cry
This is just a miserable hole in the ground
This much I know
When the darkness strikes again
I'll waive around
Like a broken flag
Prey to a wind
That doesn't even know I exist
There is a world of light
Waiting for me
When I get better
I can see it
But I don't know
How to reach it
