[Intro -vocalizations] [Verse 1] There's a darkness deep inside me, Weighs me down just like a stone. (ohh) Not a burden borne just by me, But by all who call me home. [Pre-Chorus] I see the toll it takes on others, A weight I wish I didn't share. (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) Being loved just pulls me under, In despair, I gasp for air. [Chorus] This broken mind beyond repair, Carries a weight too great to bear. (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Can't let this shadow fill the air, My darkness is mine alone to wear. [Verse 2] Endless days in silent stare, Dreaming of a life elsewhere. (uh uh ohhh ohhhhhhhhhh) Moments of joy are far too rare, If they came, I'd be unprepared. [Pre-Chorus] Climbing down these brittle stairs, Toward a fate that's cold and bare. (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Charon waits but doesn't care, Without a coin, I'm left nowhere. [Chorus] This broken mind beyond repair, Carries a weight too great to bear. (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Can't let this shadow fill the air, My darkness is mine alone to wear. [Bridge] In this hollow house I wander, Everything falls to decay. (unhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Heed my warning, don't come yonder, Others judge and turn away. Sometimes wish I'd been born fair, Graceful like a wild mare. (hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm) But I leave despair behind me, Lingering heavy in the air. [Chorus] This broken mind beyond repair, Carries a weight too great to bear. (Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Can't let this shadow fill the air, My darkness is mine alone to wear. [Outro] Here I am, my soul exposed, Wearing wounds that no one knows. (Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) In the darkness, ember glows, Leading down those stairs it goes.
