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
