I grew up on the corner of normal and tragedy,
Dreaming of bright lights and energy,
There was silver and gold on the path laid in front of me,
But the shadows seemed more interesting.
Oh, in the quiet you can hear them cry,
Oh, in the quiet you can hear them die.
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
My heart is waiting,
I've been wishing for a spark to guide me home,
The light is fading,
Let doorways take me where I must go,
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
The dawn is breaking.
Do you know how it feels to have eyes on you constantly,
When your mirror is the enemy,
There's a void, an abyss, that you walk through reluctantly,
Seeking any piece of clarity.
Oh, in the quiet you can see the sky,
Oh, in the quiet you can hear it sigh.
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
My heart is waiting,
I've been wishing for a spark to guide me home,
The light is fading,
Let doorways take me where I must go,
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
The dawn is breaking.
Hush little baby don't say a word,
One day you're gonna change this world,
And if they choose to walk around blind,
One day you're gonna change their minds.
Hush little baby don't say a word,
One day you're gonna change this world,
And if they choose to walk around blind,
One day you're gonna change their minds.
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
My heart is waiting,
I've been wishing for a spark to guide me home,
The light is fading,
Let doorways take me where I must go,
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
Oh way too long.
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
My heart is waiting,
I've been wishing for a spark to guide me home,
The light is fading,
Let doorways take me where I must go,
I've been swimming in the dark for way too long,
The dawn is breaking.
