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
