I fear not the dark but the daylight I feel free from these bones at night. I poured all of my wealth into the wishing well Hoped for the world I see when I close my eyes And you fade out like a breath on a window pane, Now you barely answer to your name In your sleep You’ve been holding on too long (You’re barely holding on) In your dreams The only place you feel you belong. You belong. I feel like I’m trapped on the outside I am free in this cage of mine I buried myself inside a living hell Get me out of this world I see when I close my eyes You bathed in rivers of your misery You drown in it’s water. But I search for you through the deepest black In hope that it will bring you back In your sleep You’ve been holding on too long (You’re barely holding on) In your dreams The only place you feel you belong. You belong It took your mind, it took my friend And led you astray And I can’t bear to watch you wither away. You’re lost on a path that sadness paved With a handful of sleeping pills You’ll dream away the day In your sleep You’ve been holding on too long (You’re barely holding on) In your dreams The only place you feel you belong. You belong

Shadow Poet 04:10
You say what I am, is a shadow of what I could have been But it was your love that took what I was I’ll be fine and that’s where we differ Cause I’m bone dry, you’re drowning in the river And if only the water was as shallow as you Trying to find your self through another person’s eyes Say you’re happy in your own skin while selecting your disguise And now you trade the poetry in your soul For tired lines and exhausted metaphors What ever happened to the kid who wanted to be free? You say what I am, is a shadow of what I could have been But it was your love that took what I was I’ll be fine and that’s where we differ Cause I’m bone dry, you’re drowning in the river And if only the water was as shallow as you You always change the rules to complement your lies But were you really so scared I’d see it in your eyes? And all I see is a door for me to use To walk straight back to the life I once knew What ever happened to the kid who wanted to be free? You say what I am, is a shadow of what I could have been But it was your love that took what I was I’ll be fine and that’s where we differ Cause I’m bone dry, you’re drowning in the river And if only the water was as shallow as you I’ll be fine and that’s where we differ Cause I’m bone dry, you’re drowning in the river

I can feel the air giving up on my lungs tonight And I just wasn’t prepared for the war in my head my thoughts waged that I couldn’t fight Dear ghost in the walls, I’m calling out to you. Teach me how to hide, hide like you do. If I could, I’d just fade out and disappear But I’m scared for my family that I might not see out this year I’ll hold me breath & pray that my light and dark coalesce (You helped stop my light from fading) I guess the saddest part of my trip to the edge Is that it was your voice that talked me down from the ledge They say that silence is a violent way to speak And every word you never said, I heard them all I still feel the shame and every piece of blame What a sad excuse for a man, I am Dear ghost in the walls, I’m calling out to you. Teach me how to hide, hide like you do. If I could, I’d just fade out and disappear But I’m scared for my family that I might not see out this year I’ll hold me breath & pray that my light and dark coalesce (You helped stop my light from fading) And I guess the saddest part of my trip to the edge Is that it was your voice that talked me down from the ledge (I know you’ll find your way someday) I’ll hold me breath & pray that my light and dark coalesce (You helped stop my light from fading) And I guess the saddest part of my trip to the edge Is that it was your voice that talked me down from the ledge

Fear Life 04:45
Why can’t I seem to feel life anymore? (No more) As my eyes roll back and I slide down the wall. Like a frightened child I shy away. Senseless in this state of mind That I can’t define Why do I so despise every single view behind these eyes? And that transcends to the outside. I’ve lost all feeling in a world without meaning I have no will to survive The haunted thoughts of my distant times Won’t let me sleep at all these nights I reconcile with soft white lies To remind myself I’m still alive Lover, Im sorry. Mother, I’m scared. I couldn’t feel your love but I knew it was there Brother, I’m worried. Father, I’m scared. I couldn’t feel your love but I knew it was there Why do I so despise every single view behind these eyes? And that transcends to the outside. I’ve lost all feeling in a world without meaning I have no will to survive If only I could change Concentrate and rearrange. Seek a place to find recovery. I could’ve walked into the waves Jumped headfirst from off the bridge And I wanted you to know You’re why I never did.
