AL’S GOODBYE

people light their own candles
to survive the cold dark night
stuck inside our hidden temples
waiting for a burst of light

wont go out, there is trouble everywhere
afraid of breathing in the toxic air
the heart stops whenever it listens
to the voices inside my head

wherever it takes me
ive lost all control
this future seems blurry
and i’ve got no hold

hold on to anything you’ve got
grab on to whatever’s left of your still beating heart
forgive me so for the times that i forgot
as I close my eyes, I say goodbye to all those sleepless nights

simple days are hard to come by
complicated by my mind’s eye
the world just seemed to change it’s angle
confused and lost trapped in a lie

fits of rage thrown out of nowhere
i know they’re all still alive
are you my son or are you my daughter
i feel so close to the light

wherever it takes me
ive lost all control
this future seems blurry
and i’ve got no hold

hold on to anything you’ve got
grab on to whatever’s left of your still beating heart
forgive me so for the times that i forgot
it’s time to close my eyes, and say goodbye to all those sleepless nights
