Dancing in the Dark

I may be the hero of my story

I may be the hero of my story The champion of my time

I may be the hero of my story The champion of my time But I won the battle at a very high cost

I may be the hero of my story The champion of my time But I won the battle at a very high cost The price being my mind

Every time I close my eyes

Every time I close my eyes And every day when I block out the light

I can see them

I can see them Hear them

I can see them Hear them Know them again

Red eyes blinking

Red eyes blinking Men and women screaming

Red eyes blinking Men and women screaming Rivers running red

Red eyes blinking Men and women screaming Rivers running red Salt sloping over the edge

Whenever I blink

Whenever I blink I’m submerged into darkness

Whenever I blink I’m submerged into darkness Suspended in shadows

Whenever I blink I’m submerged into darkness Suspended in shadows That have swallowed me whole

Their arms wrap around me

Their arms wrap around me And I’m trapped in their claws

I can’t see

I can’t see I can’t breathe

I can’t see I can’t breathe I can’t wait till I leave

I’m stuck where I am

I’m stuck where I am I can’t get out

I’m stuck where I am I can’t get out And I can see the worlds damage done

I’m stuck where I am I can’t get out And I can see the worlds damage done In a single tiny blink

When I was young

When I was young They told me that dreams come true

When I was young They told me that dreams come true But I often forget

When I was young They told me that dreams come true But I often forget That nightmares are dreams too

And I’m so sorry

And I’m so sorry But I am stuck

And I’m so sorry But I am stuck And I can’t stop

And I’m so sorry But I am stuck And I can’t stop Dancing with the demons

And I’m so sorry But I am stuck And I can’t stop Dancing with the demons In the dark
