Tunnel Of Gold

Another headline

Another heavy stone in my chest

Same gray skyline

Feels like the sun forgot the rest

Empty train car

Blue light buzzing over tired eyes

I keep my headphones on

Drowning out the quiet cries

But in the glass

I catch my own reflection

Still breathing

Still here

A little spark

Behind the worn-out question:

"Is this all there is?"

In a negative world

I’m holding on

To a tunnel of gold where the hurt runs gone

Yeah

The night gets loud

Tries to pull me under

But I see light at the end of the tunnel

I see light at the end of the tunnel

Parking lot rain

Dripping from the brim of my coat

Bills in the mailbox

Words I’m scared to open and unfold

Friends feel distant

Everybody talking through a screen

But I still save a seat

For the person I can be

’Cause in the cracks

I see the colors bleeding

Small kindness on the street

One deep breath

Turns into believing

There’s more than what I see

Step by step

Even when my feet feel frozen

Breath by breath

Every little choice I’m choosing

To walk through the black

With my hands out

Searching

Till my fingers touch

That warm glow working

Through the grief

Through the fear

Through the blame we carry

There’s a door

There’s a flare

There’s a flame we marry

And it grows

And it grows

Till the dark looks subtle

And I’m wrapped in light

At the end of the tunnel

I’m still here standing in this golden tunnel of Hope and light were darkness has no say in this tunnel of pure golden light shining through so bright without a trace of shadows lurking in from behind

I’m on the side of the light

Darkness has no place in my heart

To the world of Darkness I say “ fuck you”

To the world of light I welcome u
