The light shines bright to guide my way. It keeps me strong for one more day. Nights aren't as long as they used to be, Yet I fail to tame these haunting memories. In the future you'll never see, Never see what you've done to me, Made me cry day after day, I'll make you hurt, I'll make you pay. In the past you've tried so hard To make my life the wild card, I dare you to see Just what it is you've done to me. Only wishing for this closure Of your illicit exposure Yet I refuse to cry, Lift my eyes to the frozen sky. In the future you'll never know, Never know what I've become, Broken off from this wretched world My blood still flows but I am numb. The object of your affection Expressed through warped perceptions. Victimized by self-destruction Subject to your soul's corruption. Choking on the rasping words Of what's been left unsaid, Beneath the subdued surface, Waiting for this skin to shed. The light shines bright to guide my way. It keeps me strong for one more day. Nights aren't as long as they used to be, Yet I fail to tame these haunting memories. My eyes are black and blue, Lonely worn out and confused. My body left defiled From your touch, so volatile. Now the days aren't as bleak, As bleak as they once were, But I still can't rest assured, I don't think you'll ever learn. The light shines bright to guide my way. It keeps me strong for one more day. Nights aren't as long as they used to be, Yet I fail to tame these haunting memories.
