Eternal Flame

It seems like every time I feel
Nothing more is real
I'm alone again, in the end
Waking up to this madness

Underneath the stars
I found my deepest scars
The darkest parts of me
Now I can see
Who I've come to be

I've begun to fray
Sadness eats away
It's too hard to bare
Living in this terror

There's a place inside
I have learned to hide
I'm better on my own
Must I be alone?

This agony, this demon in me
Maybe one day, I'll wake up without a broken heart

If I still feel like this tomorrow
Will I find beauty in sorrow?
Will I ever know
Why alone feels like home

I don't want your sympathy
You wouldn't understand
How it hurts, oh how it hurts
To be me

Again I'm on my own
Sinking like a stone
I'm left in agony
For all the world to see

So here I'm at the end
I cannot pretend
Broken from the start
Cut open my own heart

If I still feel like this tomorrow
Will I find beauty in sorrow?
Will I ever know
Why alone feels like home

Why must alone feel just like home?

Decay, descend
My ship is sinking, with no sight of shore
The terror and panic, my survival no more

Conjure the power
Swim against the tides
Despite the wretchedness they provide

I've set a charter, transcend the water
I will not meet this most certain fate

If the pain inside me must remain
Let it reignite my eternal flame
To illuminate a skyline that will guide me home
Even if it means I must be alone

Forward and backward
Time keeps moving on
Sorrow will leave me forever
