lyrics

Who'll know I'm gone?
Who'll be here to remember if I stay too long?
Who can hear me now?
Who'll bother listening when I'm deep in the ground?

Where do we go?
When all is said and done I'd really like to know
And how far have I come?
Further from the womb or to closer to the Son?

Cause there's a lot of fear in my heart
And reason never seems to play a part
I used to turn these nightmares into art
But lately I've been crumbling in the dark

Do I have a choice?
Was that God chuckling or was that my inner voice?
Is it all just noise?
Can I choose misery or unrequited joy?

What is that sound?
Is my heart slowing down or beating much too loud?
And where is my rest?
If this is the easy life then fail me from the test

Cause there's a lot of fear in my heart
And reason never seems to play a part
I used to turn these nightmares into art
But lately I've been crumbling in the dark

Reason seems a lot more welcome at the break of day
But seasons change and days get shorter fast
I wish that I could pluck these thoughts and throw them all away
But I know they'll be back here with the dark

Cause there's a lot of fear in my heart
And reason never seems to play a part
I used to turn these nightmares into art
But lately I've been crumbling in the dark
Lately I've been fumbling in the dark
Lately I've been stumbling in the dark
