From Dark To Light
How do i say the things i really want to say?
How do i do what i feel should be done?
Trying so hard yet always seeming to fail
Do i continue to pretend or finally bring everything to the surface?
To continue to be a pawn in everyones game or to break away and finally be free?
Dark shadows follow my every step
A tear always clouding my eyes
So ready to escape this darkness
To look into the light and realize
Things will get better
