Old pain left my heart with a cavernous abyss

And the answer echoes from the bottom

Will you help me find the path down into the dark?

I’m scared of being alone down in the deep dark

All the ones I left first, so I won’t feel this way

Hoping they’d still be here, know they’re gone anyway

I always moved on before mourning, just to survive

And when morning breaks, I can’t bear to step in the light

Down, deeper down, through the years

Past the fragmented memories of people I lost

The closer we get, the more that it aches

Til I can’t feel the pain, but I can’t stop the tears

Will you help me find a way

Out of the dark?

Am I too late?

Healing hurts

I’ve got to find

The old hurt of being left behind

So now we are Here, through the eyes of a child

At the bottom, where Now has no meaning

I’m trapped in the pain of loss, and not knowing why

Eons have passed to the day, I still don’t know why

Down, deeper down, through the years

Past the fragmented memories of people I lost

The closer we get, the more that it aches

Til I can’t feel the pain, but I can’t stop the tears

Down, deeper down, through the years

Past the fragmented memories of people I lost

How did I learn to turn it all off

When the absence of pain hurts more?

Will you help me find a way

Out of the dark?

Am I too late?

Healing hurts

I’ve got to find

The old hurt of being left behind

Somewhere, there is someone who loves you

Before and after they learn what you are

Down, deeper down, through the years

Past the fragmented memories of people I lost

The closer we get, the more that it aches

Til I can’t feel the pain, but I can’t stop the tears

Down, deeper down, through the years

Past the fragmented memories of people I lost

How did I learn to turn it all off

When the absence of pain hurts more?

Somewhere, there is someone who loves you

Before and after they learn what you are
