Breathing, but barely,
The ship sinks again.
Trying, but not fighting,
And done playing pretend.

Back to the brighter days,
Trust still lies.
I can't try to understand
as the last hope dies.

Not good enough for this dramatic world;
I am my only friend.
Hopeless thoughts all written in crimson,
Echo violently through my head.

Everything i thought I had,
Has evaporated over time.
I wanted to believe in hope,
But now I just want to say goodbye.

In the bitter black,
I noticed a spark; a reflection in the glass.
A hand reached out to touch my face,
And then remove the mask.

I was saved that day from a place
Darker then dark should be.
I'll never forget that lock on my heart;
I'll never forget finding the key.
