Black Thorned Roses

Is there any way I can put myself to use
Here in this world that's starving for truth
Is there anything at all I can do
Is anyone else scared too

Am I crazy
Am I insane
Am I the only one with so much shame
Is anyone else wondering what it is from which they came
Is anyone else about to break from the strain

My troubled mind's in a desperation
I need only a small realization
The dark closes in around me
I have nothing left to believe
I'm wishing with all my might
That I had someone to light
To light the way
The way for me

I can't see anything that matters
Now that my fragile soul's been shattered
My hearts about to bend and break
My sanity's beginning to shake

Now I don't know why
I can't push the tears out
I can't cry
I feel my resolution breaking
I sit here and all I do is nothing

My troubled mind's in a desperation
I need only a small realization
The dark closes in around me
I have nothing left to believe
I'm wishing with all my might
That I had someone to light
To light the way
The way for me

The words are all so empty
I'm lonely here, and I'm wandering pointlessly
My life's rapidly becoming unraveled
I can't get it right
No matter how far and wide I travel

How am I to escape this pain of youth
Now that my heart's blood is seeping through
Through the black waters I'm wading
My eyes are wide open
But this darkness is blinding

My troubled mind's in a desperation
I need only a small realization
The dark closes in around me
I have nothing left to believe
I'm wishing with all my might
That I had someone to light
To light the way
The way for me

Now here in my pain I have only one need
I need to be able to breathe
Everything in this world has confirmed my fears
Now it's to the point where it's beyond tears

My heart is aching like never before
My soul's screaming for something more
The proof of my black and blue bruises
These are my black thorned roses
