So here I am, this is me
Sitting and waiting patiently
For what exactly? I’m not sure
Perhaps for someone to show me more
Or something big to come my way
To make my skies a little less grey
To make my life feel more worthwhile
To come along and make me smile
To believe in me and all my dreams
No matter how stupid they may seem
To show the way when life gets hard
To shine a light into the dark
The darkness that I seem to find
In every corner of my mind
The darkness that stops me in my tracks
That always has me looking back
That always scares me to the core
I don’t know what it’s looking for
And why it’s engulfing my mind so
Oh how I want to stop this ghost
The ghost that dances round my head
That fills my whole being with dread
That wakes me up in the night
That wraps me up and squeezes tight
That pushes me down and pulls me under
A pathetic life broken asunder
But until this darkness disappears
My eyes will always be full of tears
So I’ll sit and wait and pray and hope
That one day I’ll escape these ghosts
And that someone may come along
To sing to me a soft sweet song
That’ll drive away my demon days
And change all my destructive ways
And help me see through brand new eyes
That I can rid me of this guise
And I can live a life that’s free
From all this pain and misery
And I can be a brand new me
Who leads a life much less ugly
But to find the saviour that I seek
I must also look very deep
Deep within me, in my heart
Then I can make a brand new start
And I can hold my head up high
There’ll be no more tears left to cry
And I can make this darkness go
I’m the only one who can save me so.
