here in the dark i can see clearly  all that i am burns on my eyes  nobody knows the road that's before me  nobody sees the darkening skies    here in the light i'll be your angel  under your spotlight i'm learning to fly  but one man's perception is another's deception  and dying to feeling i'm living a lie    and in my understanding i find no reason    you can tell me i'm strong like a gathering storm  but i'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world  you gave me sheltering sky but i reached for the stars  i said i don't believe in who you are  but it's only words    deep in the dark i feel like i'm falling  voices and visions are pulling me down  i need you to help me escape from this ocean  i need you to stop me from learning to drown    you seem so understanding i find no reason    you can tell me i'm strong like a gathering storm  but i'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world  you gave me sheltering sky but i reached for the stars  i said i don't believe in who you are  i never thought i'd let it go this far  but it's only words
