There's a photograph of a little boy in a picture frame
Hanging near a crack on the living room wall
In the photograph of the little boy wearing "hand me down" clothes
His eyes are sad and he's not smiling at all
What ever became of that little boy?
Living in that house that breathed hate and rage
Pain can consume a child's innocence
But memories are scars that can fade
The Darkest Days are behind me
The Darkest Days are gone
These eyes were torn from endless tears
But fallen angels can rise and walk on
The Darkest Days didn't last forever
The Darkest Days are in the past
Nothing remains the same in life
I learned to survive The Darkest Days at last
There's a photograph of a young man in a broken picture frame
That has fallen from a rusted hook down the hall
A house long since condemned and abandoned decades ago
By a family that only breathed hatred inside those walls
What ever became of that young man?
Living in that house that breathed hate and rage
Pain can consume a child's innocence
But memories are scars that can fade
The Darkest Days are behind me now
The Darkest Days are gone
My eyes were torn from endless tears
But fallen angels can rise and walk on
The Darkest Days didn't last forever
The Darkest Days are in the past
Nothing remains the same in this life
I have learned to survive The Darkest Days at last
The Darkest Days are behind me now
The Darkest Days are gone
My eyes were torn from endless tears
But fallen angels can rise and walk on
The Darkest Days didn't last forever
The Darkest Days are in the past
Nothing remains the same in this life
I have learned to survive The Darkest Days at last
Too many rainstorms on the horizon
Black clouds forming and pushing their way in
Black rain is the darkest storm to weather
Sometimes you've got to be stronger than wind
The Darkest Days are far behind me
The Darkest Days have gone
My eyes were torn from endless tears
But fallen angels can rise and walk on
The Darkest Days didn't last forever
The Darkest Days are in the past
Nothing remains the same in my life
I've learned to survive The Darkest Days at last
The Darkest Days are far behind me
The Darkest Days have gone
My eyes were torn from endless tears
But fallen angels can rise and walk on
The Darkest Days didn't last forever
The Darkest Days are in the past
Nothing remains the same in my life
I've learned to survive The Darkest Days at last
