Did I lose another night? Did I gain another day
Should I give this up? Or let it take me away

I pull the blinds to see the sun
I ask myself was that all the fun
Am I to dare the world this way

My mind comes down to where I don't wanna be
I know it's coming, can't stop the fire inside of me
Again my hell begins another day

Why do I do this every time
Why is the shadow so inviting
I catch me drifting away from me
Why don't I see the danger in the lighting

Chorus:
Can't feel the sun, don't want the pain
I swear to me, never again
But I know in time I'll seek my friend
I'll track him down, until my end
Just close my eyes and pray for life
I know it's hard, dying inside
But I can't give in, can't fade away
'Cause I know my strength is here to stay

I pray for life

Starting fun is always easy
I think "I hope I never find the end"
When do you finally stop to realize
This way your problems never mend

The choice is there, reach out and hold

While crying out first daylight tears
'Cause you know deep in your fragile mind
Again you've accomplished your worst of fears

Do you hold on to sobriety
Or away Heaven's light to take your soul
You know what it is you need to do
To get out of your midnight hole

I find myself wondering the street
And wondering who of me I'll meet
The shadowy world of forgotten lives
Will it be strength in me that survives

I plead with you, keep my hands tied
My savior is just around the bend
Please forgive me for all I've lied
I know my mind can be mine again

Confessing was my hardest chore
Your forgiveness my saving grace
If not for strength I found in you
I'd be staring death in the face

With you I challenged all I am
Might just have thrown it all away
If you'd not gripped my heart with all you can
And pulled my soul back down to stay

I cherish all you gave to me
Bathed in the way you set me free
My life is mine to lead again
For this I thank you in the end

One final word before I live

To state your strength much more than mine
You gave me all you had to give
To see the world I nearly left behind
