There was a darkness
That soothed me and raised me up to dream
In an abyss, those nightmares
They're not what they seem
They whispered of a world they'd known
Where every child was their own
All the colours of an oil spill
When moonlight hits the wave, I'll save you all
You've seen all the things that I've seen
You've been all the places I've been, my friend
You know all the things that I know
Well maybe not all but most so
Who cares who is better or worse than anyone?
I've made mistakes along the way
But who said things should stay the same
I don't agree
The universe is filled with so 'moray' new exciting things to see
For you and me
You don't need saving, you can save yourself
You're all so special from the inside out
Just take a second, look how far we've come
I bet if the nightmares could see me now
They'd say well done
Well done, well done
Well done daughter, daughter well done
There was a darkness
That knew me and raised me wild and strong
So hated, and so feared was she
Though fearful most of all
She whispered of a hunger deep
And as old as the bones beneath her meat
All strange serenades and never sleeps yet never wakes
I'll break your fall
You've done everything that you could
You feel like there's something else
You're supposed to do
Who crossed that road, who burned that bridge
Who fought that current and swam with the fish
Was it you?
I've lost a friend, I've gained a friend
What's a friend mean but a means to an end?
I tried my best with everyone I've ever loved
I'll outlive unless I can find where life inside me rests
It is my test
You don't need saving anymore, anymore
But I'm still waving from a not-so-distant shore
Just take a second, look at what you'll start
I'm sorry that I couldn't save you
From darkness inside your heart
Your heart, your heart
Your hardened heart, friend
