She Is Me

She travels by night Ribbons of darkness guiding her forward She leaves the destruction behind And children dance in the tears like rain Her never-ending plight Every action dragging you backward Hope is gone, there's none to find She laughs as you writhe in pain She is me and I've lost the light A story made up don't be a coward Falling weak, the future is blind It was never about you don't be so vain It's not too late to make it right A sinking feeling you're floating downward You can leave me now I won't mind Music in ears will be keeping me sane
