Going Back In Time

Everything I see is gone
What should be loved just brings me pain
This loss in me has gone on far too long
Every second drives me insane

The sky is drifting past my eyes
All of life is far away
Whatever I do is just a lie
Another excuse for me to stay

I’ve found the reasons life exists
I know why we are here
But it’s too late for me to resist
The darkness makes this clear

The fear inside still speaks to me
It’s polluting all my dreams
This crying child can never see
As long as there’s such thing as screams

This is the last time I kill my pain
No more martyred days
I’ll close my eyes and lift the rain
Time will never be the same

The darkness fades into the light
Everything turns around
Pain is fading from my sight
Things that are, they’re turning back
Scars no longer burn my mind
There were never any lies
In the end I know I’ll find
I am now just part of the skies
