Take me to a different place
Where love is not illusion-based
And fear is just a word they can't define
Where I've heard hope and happiness
Are found in every beating chest
'Cause all those hearts are more or less inclined
To give it all away without a fear of what's to break
The answer that we never seem to find
The hand we always take disintegrates without a trace
And we're the ones they've always left behind
Help me understand the best it yet to come
Take me by the hand before I come undone
'Cause all this emptiness has left me feeling numb
But it's darkest right before the sun
Now, I've let moments pass me by
But I refuse to leave my life
To fall between the cracks of my control
I was outspoken 'til I broke open
All the chains that were imprisoning my soul
Help me understand the best it yet to come
Take me by the hand before I come undone
'Cause all this emptiness has left me feeling numb
But it's darkest right before the sun
And if you try to swim the other way
Then, they'll never let you see another day
But I've been there before
I've been a soldier in this war
If you take it in your stride, you might just see
The other side
Just breathe
Breathe, 'cause everything you seek
Is just a stone's throw away
Help me understand the best it yet to come
Take me by the hand before I come undone
'Cause all this emptiness has left me feeling numb
But it's darkest right before the sun
