The Night

The light fades away The sun steps down, the end of another day Tomorrow seems so far away When I spend so much time In the night's embrace Was I born to be this afraid? In the night when all my fears are realized I realize that I cannot trust my eyes I realign what my thoughts tend to visualize But it's too vulgar to say I wish that I could find myself some solitude so I could just Hide it all away And bury it deep so it stays So I never drift as far again I know I've done some things that will need to be forgiven or pardoned In the light I can push them away But in the night they always tend to wander in again It's hard when there's no one there to see you straying No one there to stop your mind from leading you astray And my vision's getting blurry as the light is being stranded I hope you know this isn't how I would've planned it out Cause when I cannot see It's hard to tell who I'm supposed to be And when I'm blinded by fear It's safe to say that I'm not safe to stay behind the steering wheel And I'd say I have the right to this Cause it's my life, so I'd say that I should fight for it And I'll put forward what my mind permits Twisted metal and broken fists And I'll fight while I can still see Dear night, this is not the night you will conquer me Cause I won't go down that easily (You can't take me) Cause I won't go down that easily (You can't take me) Cause I won't go down that easily You say you are All I need So light my way And lead on You say you'll stay Though I am weak So light my way And lead on But I just can't commit to it I mean, is it insane for you to give your life For those who cursed your name Maybe Conflicted convictions I am lost to my fictions Blurry visions These small cuts to my mind Are turning into deep incisions Poor decisions, when I was younger And I didn't have to face these sleeping demons All of my thoughts were in agreement Full of meaning What a feeling But now, I'm lost without a light I need your help to last the night I used to have one, I swear I did It used to burn so bold and bright But slowly it got ripped apart And faded to the blackness With my heart See that's where it all fell apart So here I'll stand broken, battered All of my dreams in tatters Running far away from all that matters Will you chase me? The dark is knocking at my door These demons scream until I'm torn My sin is heavy But these are the things you felt Worth dying for And I don't even have a right to it But it's my life so I'd say that I should fight for it And I'll put forward what my mind permits Through all its twisted brokenness And I'll fight while I can still see Dear night, this is not the night you will conquer me Cause I won't go down that easily (You can't take me) Cause I won't go down that easily (You can't take me) Cause I won't go down that easily You say you are All I need So light my way And lead on You say you'll stay Though I am weak So light my way And lead on (Lead on) (Lead on) (Lead on) (Night fades You light every dark way Shining till the sun breaks Into every new day) (You make every night fade You light every dark way Shining till the sun breaks Into every new day) (You make the night it fade away You light every dark shadowed way) (You make every night fade You light every dark way Shining till the sun breaks Into every new day You make every) (You make the night it fade away You light every dark shadow) You say you are All I need So light my way And lead
