I'm waiting in the dark
With my knuckles whitening
I sink beneath the crushing weight
I feel the fear consuming me
Just like it always has been
The cracking lips, the hungry tongue
It longs to feed on what I love
I can't escape it
So I submit to certain failure
To the death of hope and faith
These enemies
These roads that lead to no one
Hold me close and save me now
I need a reason to believe
The things that I was promised
That life was never getting worse
And that the suffering meant something
Wrap your hands round my heart
And help me weather this storm
I'm left to question
How did I fall so far, so fast?
Why do my blessings never last?
Why all these battles?
Why all these ghosts that haunt my sleep?
Will they never let me be?
Why must my reach find only failure?
When will rest envelope me?
It's not for want of will or passion
It must be something in me
That stresses all my nerves to breaking
And then wrestles me from sleep
Those old ghosts satiate their hunger
Will they never let me be?
This is the road that leads you back to no one
(To no one)
This is the road that leads you back to no one
(How did I fall so far? How did I fall so fast?)
This is the road that leads you back to no one
I need a reason to believe
That life was never getting worse
But I'm finding nothing
