Darkness to light

Darkness Is all around me
I reach out but nothing's there
I try to look and see
But all I can do is say a prayer

The light shines out from a tiny place
Then it goes and you question why
You desperately try to find that light to chase
And when you can't you tell yourself a lie

What is the purpose of all of this
False hope I always fall for it
Expecting something nice but it becomes a miss
At this point I expect to lose and never get

You try to run away from your fear
But you are stuck you can't move
You can't even swipe that tear
Nothing to do nothing more to prove

I hear the whistle of a train
I fight try to break out and don't give in
I fight through the pain
And begin to find hope from within

Voices tell you to let it go
Moments of weakness make it hard to bare
Your true identity is failing to show
And the cracks in the mirror begin to glare

I start to make my own way
Break the cage open with just a thought
I realize that the danger is what I would say
I'm my net and the main reason I was caught

Your mind likes to play tricks on you
You are your own worst fear
Lies you always hear were not very true
But sometimes what you hear feels the most clear

There is no road to paradise
Sometimes not even the path of life
Influence and bliss are not that concise
The air is so murky you could cut it with a knife

Sometimes I listen to the sound of silence
So peaceful and very quaint
No extreme thought and no backtrack of violence
I want to paint the moment I remember with no taint

I'm not better than anyone
I'm Just a guy trying to be alright
Making sure to keep it between that and no one
Sometimes darkness shows it's own light
