Twisted Roots of Despair

Sadness fills the air On this cold and misty morning I look at you but only to Have your soulless eyes stare away from me How did we get to this place It is either a break up Or a break down Who can say for sure The air feels heavy as I breathe in the dampness Of the chilly blanket that surrounds me Everything seems very wrong Is this worth working out? And did we ever put enough effort into us anyway? Never mind, it doesn’t matter Long ago I was told Be in love with where you’re at And you will find true happiness Right now that seems hard to find So I’ll go down the darkest path I can find In the twisted roots of despair And somehow I’m going to break through To the brightest spot that will shine I’ll be whole once again And I will find the happiness of where my feet will finally land On the warm, soft ground
