"The Light Within" lyrics

(So I can see the light within)

I need a break now
Tryin' to find some clarity
I'm starting to break down
On the dark side polarity

I get lost in the quiet
My thoughts overload
Do I suffer in silence?
I'm outta control
Yeah, I'm friends with the enemy
So that no one can hinder me
From the medicine I'm gonna take

I could never start over
I would never be the same
Maybe I am just a loner
Who won't live to see another day
I've tried for so long to have faith
And I've prayed for someone to come and open
My eyes so I can see the light within

I don't think I can, now
No, I cannot change my tendency
I'm losing the spark somehow
When will I be able to relight it again?
And it's dark when the fire goes out I feel numb
And the silence is violent
There's nowhere to run
My conscience lingers in remorse

I could never start over
I would never be the same
Maybe I am just a loner
Who won't live to see another day
I've tried for so long to have faith
And I've prayed for someone to come and open
My eyes so I can see the light within

What do you expect of me?
I'm not who I used to be
I can't fake this anymore
And if time is medicine
I will overdose again
We hide scars we can't ignore!

Can't ignore!

I could never start over
Cause I'd never be the same
Maybe I am just a loner
Who won't live to see another day
I've tried for so long to have faith
And I've prayed for someone to come and open
My eyes so I can see the light within

(What do you expect of me?
I'm not who I used to be
I can't fake this anymore
And if time is medicine
I will overdose again)
My eyes so I can see the light within
