Lost in the Dark

Have you ever felt the kind of pain that no-one understands
The kind of pain from deep inside that tears you right in half
Borne of the futility of not being in control
Of your life being in others hands

Your silent screams bend your body double
Piercing despair unable to escape your throat
The outside world only sees your eyes
Unable to see where you hide it all inside
Your friends are just ghosts who poplulate your vision
There's no-one with the magic

I knew magic when I was young
It filled the world
It made it all so much fun
Stretching time forever

The magic in the laughter
In the games we played
And in the company of hearts and lives that are no longer there.

The highs make the lows so deep
And the canyon I now occupy leaves me reaching for the moon
The wells I put up to stop the pain from coming in
Now isolate me and stop me from reaching out

My pain is going supernova, surely everyone can see
But I forget how deep down I am
A star in the dark night sky, is all that they would know
If I could lift my own head up, I would see more pain than my own, I'm sure

The magic I once knew, I now know it's name
But knowing what it is cannot replace its absence
If I could tell someone what it is I long for
To find that one true soul
Then I would know love again
