-I have lived all my life in a trance
(Neither living nor dead)
-Caught up in a sinister dance
(Holding on by a thread)
-I know nothing but darkness and gloom
(Overshadowed by doubt)
-The persistence sensation of doom
(Never venturing out)
-And this dark, this destructive romance
(Always holding me back)
-Has left my fate to unmerciful chance
(Never daring to act)
-and left me inexplicably, hopelessly sad
(Oh I longed for a friend)
-Even more unaccountably, utterly mad
(How I yearned for the end)
-And every hope, I have had is erased
(The years I've grieved, for I believed, the one I loved the most i'd love forever)
-Every dream from my heart has been chased
(I had betrayed, the plans I'd made, I'd lost my nerve and paid the bitter price)
-And the horrible truth I must face
(The dreadful fact, of what I lacked, a heart which held a single true emotion)
-Is my life might have all, been a waist
(An empty shell, a living hell
They'll be no sense, farewell if this is all)
-For the voices berating, fear never abating
-I stood at the door ever watching, and waiting
-Haunted by visions I never could shake
-I have moved through my life
-Never fully awake
(Both)
So no more of this madness
No more of this sin
Time to end all this sadness this sickness within
Though the good and the bad and the best may be gone
Though the night has been long
I can now see the dawn
So to dreams say goodbye
I won't lie down and die
I will no longer just let my life pass me by
I'll be fearless and bold
Of my future, take hold
I will bury the past
Join the living at last
In the world, see the good in my life as I should
Find the joy until now that I just never could
