Every now and then I have the chance to be myself
Behind the smile and the mask of someone else
Where my soul can't be found and my heart can't be felt
Drowning and suffocating in the darkness is when I realize no one is coming to help
Gasping for air, wishing someone was there
The voices in my head telling me I'll die here
I think "I can't die like this" alone, cold, deep in the abyss
I clinch my fist, trying to resist, spending my whole life trying to do what's right
Attracted to the light only to be consumed by the night
I won't, I can't lose this fight, I must summon all my might even if it takes my life, I can't allow myself to soul to be buried in strife

Not as a father and a husband to my wife, hanging by a thread, dangling by faith
Trying desperately to outrun my demons but I feel like I'm running in place and I can't ever escape my fate
Surrounded by prayers and loved ones so why do I feel the need for space?
Feeling like an angel but somewhere on earth I lost my grace and I only find peace and the thought of being relased!
