[Verse 1]

Do you believe that it's been this long?

Do you believe that I'm so far gone?

The time passes so fast it's like I'm racing through a dream

At night vision fighting for my life, isn't it?

How do I keep my chin above the water?

How do I search it then, when I ain't got a

Ounce of energy left here inside?

My heart shriveled and my tears are dry, it's like

I'm livin' in a room with no windows

Feel I'ma die real soon stayin' in closed

Trapped in this seriality

I cannot see anything that lies ahead of me

Opportunities gone in my mind

Still I sing this song, when will I leave?

The monotony, what's stoppin' me

Leave, and then the grief that's on top of me

[Chorus]

I've been down and dark

But so alone apart from

Everyone I know

Where am I to go?

Gotta find peace of mind

Lookin' for some kinda sign

But then I rise up above

I'm saved by your love

[Verse 2]

It seems wrong that I seem like this, it seems

I've gone straight down the abyss, head first

In a free fall, jerks and it's worst, as my neck rips back and it's whiplash crash

I know it's better to come up for air

I know I'd rather not hold my breath down there

But almost suffocating, lungs collapsed

Feeling I can touch death, perhaps

I gotta get real low to get right again

I need to find control if I'ma fight again

My mental situation's chaos, it turns and it tosses

Reliving each one of my losses

Sanity gone in my mind, still I sing this song

When will I learn how to turn tragedy upside down?

Learn how to burn memories up right now

[Chorus]

I've been down and dark

But so alone apart from

Everyone I know

Where am I to go?

Gotta find peace of mind

Lookin' for some kinda sign

But then I rise up above

I'm saved by your love

[Verse 3]

How many times have I felt this way?

How many times have I lost another day?

But when you come, the sin is done, you're a godsend

Such a good friend, always there to pick me up again

It's like a light goes on when you're with me

The night's not so long when you're sitting

Alongside my bed, so still and calm

Brushing my face, I thank you mom for all the joy and the love you exude

For always bein' nothin' less than true

It's been a ride but I've had you [?] and you then, my friend

Happiness here in my mind, and I see so clear, I know why

Feel with every real ounce of my being

Feel and there's no concealing

[Chorus]

I've been down and dark

But so alone apart from

Everyone I know

Where am I to go?

Gotta find peace of mind

Lookin' for some kinda sign

But then I rise up above

I'm saved by your love

[Bridge]

I'm drowning, surrounding

The water, my head's pounding

Can't swim, can't stay afloat

Don't know how I'm supposed

To work everything out

This hurts and the pain's so loud

Ringing in my ears now, confirming all my fears now

[Verse 4]

I blink and I think and I stop and I shrink

And I disappear into nothingness

Everything's just such a mess

Life is never just a board game

And life will always bring you more pain

But likewise, if you keep your eyes wide and you got a bit of luck then you just might find

Someone who will stand by you

Someone who will suffer, too

And when you find them, you must remind them

How they changed your life

And how you will survive

[Chorus]

I've been down and dark

But so alone apart from

Everyone I know

Where am I to go?

Gotta find peace of mind

Lookin' for some kinda sign

But then I rise up above

I'm saved by your love
