Lyrics

I took a walk in the darkness last night
Saw the nightmares where my fears hide
Demons in my mind, all got snake eyes
Stages of grief, here is stage five
And I accept that I'll never be normal
In fact, I kinda like it
Came to grips with how my brain can't sit inside in silence
Need a biopic to depict all the sides of Ryan
Go back in time, I shutter island, trapped inside asylum
I was walking through the dark, replayed the story of my life
All the grief that I've experienced, made highlights out of spite
Chemically imbalanced, equilibrium off track
But cracked the top five on the charts
It was number four in fact
When I put the search for equilibrium in tracks
Traveled back to hug my younger self, took weight off of his back
Handed him a flashlight for his journey through the dark
Told him ignore the thoughts and get the guidance from his heart
And I took a walk through the darkness last night
Told myself it's fine not to feel fine
It may never be alright, but it's alright
Yeah, I'm alright
If it cuts, let it bleed
I made friends with all the darkness
If it hurts, let it sting
Pain just means I'm feeling something
If I call the darkness mine
If I claim it, it can't hurt me
If I give the shadows names
Make them peers and they can't haunt me
So when I took a walk in the darkness last night
Didn't run from the demons this time
Saw the nightmares where my fears hide
Like a lucid dream, I control mine
Learn more about myself from the depths than the peaks
Can't nobody judge me for my shit when everybody reaks
Maybe there's something wrong with me, but maybe I like it
Maybe the darkness that's inside of me is to balance the lighting
Cause when stars shine too bright, then they burn out
Never thought I'd find a balance, but I learned how
I was living in a house with no lights on
Found my way through the dark to the light bulbs
Used to wonder once you heal, who are you without the wounds
But the wounds turn into scars, they shape you to who you are
And I don't romanticize the damage no more
I just acknowledge it's a part of the core
I took a trip down memory lane through the darkness
Moved my younger self out to a penthouse apartment
Trip down memory lane through the darkness
Moved my younger self out to a penthouse apartment
If it cuts, let it bleed
I made friends with all the darkness
If it hurts, let it sting
Pain just means I'm feeling something
If I call the darkness mine
If I claim it, it can't hurt me
If I give the shadows names
Make them peers and they can't haunt me
So when I
