In The Dark Lyrics - Inspection 12

Here. Here I go. One day at a time. 

And I know if I keep my head above the water 

then I'll have a chance at swimming back to shore. 

Torn. Torn in two. Twist the knife. Strip the screw. 

I'll be fine. I'll heal in time. Convincing myself that, 

"It's not a part of me. It's not important anymore. 

It's just a memory and I have long since shut that door." 

Mine. Mine for keeps. I still feel sick and it's been seven weeks. 

I miss your face. I miss the glow. 

What's the point in leaving to begin with 

when you never let it go. "It's far away from me. 

A distance larger than the pain", 

I try to tell myself, but the more I try to 

scrub away the stain the more I want to be there. 

Yet something whispers,"Look where you've gotten on your own 

thus far, alone and in the dark". 

Nobody knows your name. Everything looks the same. 

At least I can share my pain.
