Darkness

Too much weight on my heart to open my mouth and sing

Want to speak in rhymes and metaphors but just gotta say it plain

Mileposts are flying by as I travel down this road

I have no directions and I see nothing

Just trapped under a dark canopy of trees

Midnight strikes and I forget what I came here for

Hours pass by and feel like days

Thoughts spinning round my mind and I feel dazed

 

Your eyes, they are sky radiating light

And I get so blinded in the reflection

Distracted, forgetting to travel on

I don’t know why I keep looking at you

So mesmerized

When I could just turn my eyes up towards the bright night sky

But I guess you must symbolize some piece of youth I forgot

Some life I had wanted and then I lost

Some hope destroyed upon being sought

 

Your gaze is elsewhere and that I understand

You can’t save me from this inevitable end

I wouldn’t want me either

No, I wouldn’t choose this life neither

 

I can’t remove what I set out to do and what I thought I wanted

What I fought to keep but now I’m just so haunted

So I’ll keep driving on til I see some sort of clarity

And I’ll keep walking on til I find peace inside me

I’ll keep searching until I finally reach

Some sort of love as clear as your eyes are blue
