about

The oldest song on this album, which I wrote after I attempted to take my own life. I reimagined the original concept to make it into a beacon of hope for anyone going through a dark night of the soul.

lyrics

I am lost
I’m waiting for a miracle
I am gone
Long away from redemption
I cannot feel
The cold snow on my skin
Is this a dream or a nightmare

What lies beneath
This broken smile
Is another me
In the darkness
This flower dies
And as it withers
From all the lies
A ray of light pierces the dark
Let there be light
Let there be hope

You are here
There has to be a reason
I am a ghost
Fading away from reality
I cannot feel
The warm touch of your skin
Is this a game
Or an answer

What lies beneath this broken smile
Is another me
In the darkness
This flower dies
And as it withers
From all the lies
A ray of light pierces the dark
Let there be light
Let there be hope

This life I knew
Being with you
Was another lie
Drowning me
And as these tears
Drag me away
The memories fade
A ray of light pierces my heart
May the memories die

What lies beneath
this broken smile
Is another me
in the darkness
This flower dies
and as it withers
From all the lies
A ray of light pierces the dark
Let there be light
Let there be hope
