It's dark outside

It's cold and empty like my mind

But who would know

I can't make it right

I know it's on me but I can't fight

And i'm on my own

And I don't get to watch you grow, for now;

Held back away by reality

The fact is all I know;

The footprints

That I left

Were meant to lead me back to home

The distance

Between us

Has grown so bitter and so cold

The permanence of silence

Erodes them leaving just a hole;

The lights are alive

The glare is burning in my eyes, for now

It's nothing like i've ever been

Shown in my life, but now;

All along the path we're taking

Never had a chance we're breaking

Breaking down i've lost my bearings

Bearing all the cost by missing

Missing out on what's worth sharing

Leaving me with no control
