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
