Don't leave me! im here,
I'm scratching at the walls of all the colors as they're so tightly blended together,
Yelling and screaming at the top of my lungs,
Please! Take my hand!

I've been in here so long,
I don't even know what time is,
What day or even..year it is anymore,
How ever did I let myself down like this?
Where did I ever stear myself so wrong.

I can feel it all in here,
The ache, the pain, the anguish of every breathe I take.
The Weight of everything I've ever experienced and dealt with as a youth.
Realizing it's not my fault,
This is the ultimate truth.

I can see it in your eyes, the blinding light in the distance, almost like a lighthouse it guides me.
But as I come closer it leaves me to chasing it more.
The love, the beauty..the light. Like I'm using your vision as mine.

As I look I see someone with thier back turned before me, as I run they grow distant, so I stop as the vision moves closer.
Their looking around, as if lost or scared.
A tap on the shoulder and they turn to face,
It's been so dark in here I almost didn't recognize myself...

I'm inside of you, as you are in me,
Leading me, guiding me when I'm too blind to see.
To my own reflection here in this abyss,
And when your hand touches mine we begin to rememinis.
You tell me you've been here with me, I'm never alone, that I have to face the darkness and come out on my own.

I trust in your words and bid you farewell,
Nolonger the monsters in the dark I dwell.
To find my way myself I begin to roam,
Knowing if I ever need you,
Your confined in the light I hold inside of my own.
