Hanging by a Thread

Closing the door one last time with a heavy heart and mind
Questioning every single thing
Many roads up head, but no signs anywhere
The first night's about to begin

All those pictures, they start rushing in
So much brighter than they've ever been
I tell myself but the words fly over me
It had to be. It had to be

So much darkness in the end
I don't know where to go, what to do, where to begin
I know there are better days ahead
They're a million miles away
And this heart hangs by a thread

Glimpses of light at every bend on this road that never seems to end
Each day a little better than yesterday
At the wheel of my destiny. A brand new world is opening
Trying to steer but don't know which way, yeah

Back and forth from questioning to certainty
Did it have to be? It had to be

So much darkness in the end
I don't know where to go, what to do, where to begin
I know there are better days ahead
They're a million miles away
And this heart hangs by a thread

The scars will remain. Here come the nights with no sleep
All the things that lurk in the dark way down deep
Endless wandering. The fear of the unknown
If you reap what you sow, what the hell have I sown

So much darkness in the end
Don't know where to go, what to do, where to begin
I know there are better days ahead
They're a million miles away
And this heart, it hangs by a thread

So much darkness in the end
I don't know where to go, what to do, where to begin
There's a new beginning. It's closer every day.
I can make it anything. I can make it anything
Oh, oh yeah
