here in the dark i can see clearly

all that i am burns on my eyes

nobody knows the road that's before me

nobody sees the darkening skies



here in the light i'll be your angel

under your spotlight i'm learning to fly

but one man's perception is another's deception

and dying to feeling i'm living a lie



and in my understanding i find no reason



you can tell me i'm strong like a gathering storm

but i'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world

you gave me sheltering sky but i reached for the stars

i said i don't believe in who you are

but it's only words



deep in the dark i feel like i'm falling

voices and visions are pulling me down

i need you to help me escape from this ocean

i need you to stop me from learning to drown



you seem so understanding i find no reason



you can tell me i'm strong like a gathering storm

but i'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world

you gave me sheltering sky but i reached for the stars

i said i don't believe in who you are

i never thought i'd let it go this far

but it's only words
