In the Light There Is Darkness

In the light there is darkness. You don't see it but its there.
Like a sweet serenade, the words unspoken. Lies.
We've all heard it! It hurts but we have to move on. In life nothing is fair 
We'll make it! Who knows when and how? Maybe after a thousand tries.

Perhaps a thousand lies. A thousand heart breaks and failures may come.
Just know there has to be hope. In the light there is darkness.
Whoever said life would be easy? it might not make sense but here's where I come from.
I had it all, chased the high, f***ed it all up. Now I'm filled with emptiness 

That's not what its all about. Keep trying to be the better you.
Its true. We've all got one. Its your choice. So choose what makes you happy.
In the light there is darkness. I've seen it happen its true.
You better appreciate what you have, for it won't always be there. Life's just crappy.

Just hold on to hope. Every man for himself. I'll see to me. No one's got your back.
Don't rely on words. The tongue causes happiness and sorrow. Don't let someone else's hold you back!
