A happy man is a lonely man, and that is something that only he understands
As he walks in the shadows, he does what he can to say that he’s alright and tries to pretend
But these sicknesses we carry are no longer a joke
We’ve seen the strongest of men have failed to cope
Yet we step aside, and let hate fill inside, instead of spreading love which could save a life
It takes not a damn thing to be a decent being
To embrace your life, your freedoms, the fact you’re breathing
But taking this for granted is what we’ve become, today in age, you’re not the only one
Someone needed you and you were afraid
But if you care to change, it is never too late
To open up your hearts and listen to the screams
I never heard them before, but now I believe
Chorus
When darkness surrounds me, there’s nowhere to turn
I just wanna be me, but you don’t wanna see me when I’m me
And this is killing me
Every second I’ve lied, every minute I’ve cried and said I’m fine, I lied
I just wanna see the light, when every day is night, you forget what it looks like
Then demons consume me, and I’m left alone
I just wanna be me, but you don’t wanna see me when I’m me
And this is killing me
When I look to the sky and ask myself why it doesn’t feel right
When I’m trying to win this fight against my mind, today I just might
I know it seems hard, but a light shines bright at the end of this lonely road tonight
You’re gonna find all your answers, you’ll find ‘em inside
You’ll find everything you’d hoped to find
Just block out the world of evil and liars, listen to your heart and escape from the fire
You’re here for a purpose, someone’s in need
You’re here to serve a purpose, to make history
If you close your eyes, just don’t go blind, because your calling is gonna sneak up behind
I know that you can find it, I know you’ll break free
I know you can dive straight into your destiny
Tomorrow you’ll be stronger, stronger than ever
When you’re going through hell, it will only make you better
You’ll be able to face your fears, the biggest of your life
You’ll be able to face your demons and push ‘em all aside
