When the World Falls Apart

Where do you turn When the world has fallen apart When you are so lost You don't believe your worth being found The thought of God makes your heart pound And you begin to run Run back to the comfortable place Where each day you wake up with another face Hating your life and this place But when the light comes to close You run... Just to watch your world fall apart Something you have always known When the pieces are broken They can be easily handled Like a night with only a candle Never being able to see the demons That surround you When the pieces slowly come together You realize what your past made me sether How much this world has taken And the decisions you never should have maken So when my world falls apart And I am alone I remember this is all I've ever known This time the light came too close I swore I wouldn't run But A few steps back came all too naturally And as the darkness comforted me The light burnt my soul branding me with the memories of peace Reminding me life doesn't need to be shattered to be fixed And improvement is the hardest risk Like waking up from an endless dream My eyes snap open. And I begin to walk over shatter glass From broken memories of the past As the pieces dig into my skin and blood begins to flow I realize the past is only skin deep and its time to let it go For shattered pieces of a broken life Will eventually pass as I walk closer to the light And the pain of yesterday Will be remember as if it was someone else's life For once I know I was always strong enough to win this fight And the past was hard only because I had no future So when the world falls apart look ahead Because the light will come again And remember the darkness not as you see With the candle of the demons and forgotten memories But as it truly is... A place of eternal darkness Where no one can go and no one ever wants to be
