Bitter Clarity

Born naive to this cold life

I've seen pain and jubilee

Found grace when I'm on my knees

Life's spiraling into inferno

Where do I go from here

Too weak to disappear

When your world crashes down

And when there's no one else around

The mind is a deadly weapon

Overshadowing hope

When your world crashes down

When love is what you have found

Maybe things will be alright after all

Sleepless nights from my fears

Anxiety is what defines me

No vision of serenity

Self worth is at an all time low

I've never felt so alone

Not worthy of a home

When your world crashes down

And when there's no one else around

The mind is a deadly weapon

Overshadowing hope

When your world crashes down

When love is what you have found

Maybe things will be alright after all

Open up my lungs

Close my eyes

Let my mind rest

And may my fears repine

-D.S.
