The Abyss and the Light

(Verse 1)

I have walked through nameless streets,

Speaking to shadows, hiding from me,

Chasing the pain that the clock repeats,

Trying to find what I cannot see.

(Verse 2)

I saw bright smiles turn into silence,

I saw the truth fall to the ground,

And the mirror revealed my defiance,

In a stranger I once had found.

(Pre-Chorus)

But one day my soul grew tired,

Of being chained by its lament,

Life whispered low, “Rise, be inspired,”

And I heard the call from within...

(Chorus)

Now I carry my scars with courage,

I’ve learned that falling’s part of the voyage,

I turned my pain into a home,

And made the void my own.

(Verse 3)

I learned the world is never stable,

And meaning’s built by what we feel,

The darkness taught me to be able,

And chaos taught me to heal.

I was nothing once… and found it all,

In silence I heard my soul recall.

Now I carry my scars with courage,

I’ve learned that falling’s part of the voyage,

I turned my pain into a home,

And made the void my own...

For he who stares too long in the abyss,

Will see the abyss staring back at him.

And the abyss… taught me to be light.
