Trapped in a prison that's built on belief Playing the victim, consumed by my grief Tricks my mind plays using old memories Painting them blacker than when they were real After a while I get unsatisfied I will get out of these knots I have tied
This pain I hold lives in my soul Yet I must learn to let it go I must go on, I must be strong It's always darkest right before dawn
Hostile imagery inside my head Focused on anger, defeat and regret Inaction is an action in itself This is the darkest that I've ever felt Impending change is a must to survive I'm just existing, not really alive
I'm just going through the motions, but no living I must take back what I've lost and fight my demons I embrace my darker side Knowing that it's part of life Even with my war inside I will rise again
This pain I hold lives in my soul Yet I must learn to let it go I must go on, I must be strong It's always darkest right before the dawn
