The light fades away
The sun steps down, the end of another day
Tomorrow seems so far away
When I spend so much time
In the night's embrace
Was I born to be this afraid?
In the night when all my fears are realized
I realize that I cannot trust my eyes
I realign what my thoughts tend to visualize
But it's too vulgar to say
I wish that I could find myself some solitude so I could just
Hide it all away
And bury it deep so it stays
So I never drift as far again
I know I've done some things that will need to be forgiven or pardoned
In the light I can push them away
But in the night they always tend to wander in again
It's hard when there's no one there to see you straying
No one there to stop your mind from leading you astray
And my vision's getting blurry as the light is being stranded
I hope you know this isn't how I would've planned it out
Cause when I cannot see
It's hard to tell who I'm supposed to be
And when I'm blinded by fear
It's safe to say that I'm not safe to stay behind the steering wheel
And I'd say I have the right to this
Cause it's my life, so I'd say that I should fight for it
And I'll put forward what my mind permits
Twisted metal and broken fists
And I'll fight while I can still see
Dear night, this is not the night you will conquer me
Cause I won't go down that easily
(You can't take me)
Cause I won't go down that easily
(You can't take me)
Cause I won't go down that easily
You say you are
All I need
So light my way
And lead on
You say you'll stay
Though I am weak
So light my way
And lead on
But I just can't commit to it
I mean, is it insane for you to give your life
For those who cursed your name
Maybe
Conflicted convictions
I am lost to my fictions
Blurry visions
These small cuts to my mind
Are turning into deep incisions
Poor decisions, when I was younger
And I didn't have to face these sleeping demons
All of my thoughts were in agreement
Full of meaning
What a feeling
But now, I'm lost without a light
I need your help to last the night
I used to have one, I swear I did
It used to burn so bold and bright
But slowly it got ripped apart
And faded to the blackness
With my heart
See that's where it all fell apart
So here I'll stand broken, battered
All of my dreams in tatters
Running far away from all that matters
Will you chase me?
The dark is knocking at my door
These demons scream until I'm torn
My sin is heavy
But these are the things you felt
Worth dying for
And I don't even have a right to it
But it's my life so I'd say that
I should fight for it
And I'll put forward what my mind permits
Through all its twisted brokenness
And I'll fight while I can still see
Dear night, this is not the night you will conquer me
Cause I won't go down that easily
(You can't take me)
Cause I won't go down that easily
(You can't take me)
Cause I won't go down that easily
You say you are
All I need
So light my way
And lead on
You say you'll stay
Though I am weak
So light my way
And lead on
(Lead on)
(Lead on)
(Lead on)
(Night fades
You light every dark way
Shining till the sun breaks
Into every new day)
(You make every night fade
You light every dark way
Shining till the sun breaks
Into every new day)
(You make the night it fade away
You light every dark shadowed way)
(You make every night fade
You light every dark way
Shining till the sun breaks
Into every new day
You make every)
(You make the night it fade away
You light every dark shadow)
You say you are
All I need
So light my way
And lead
