How long before I heal from scars unseen?
How long before I wake from this endless dream?
How long before the nights don’t weigh me down?
How long before I stop feeling like I’ll drown?

How long before the tears dry on their own?
How long before I don’t feel so alone?
How long before the ache finally fades?
How long before I walk out of these dark shades?

How long before...
