The lights go up
on a single chair...

You told me you would pray
to save my darkened soul...

Take a breath,
just one more step...

Look at me,
what do you see...

Maybe the words that people say
are the truth...

Step alongside my scarred feet,
learn to walk to my beat...

I've stood outside your bedroom door
until I couldn't stand, so I slumped to the floor...

Skies of blue
contain a dark grey hue...

I know this isn't what you want to hear
but my life is what I must steer...

Dance to complete my circle,
feeling mist tickling bare skin...

Swallow me up whole
my life is what he stole...

So many days have past;
the shadows have been cast...
