I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I knew is over
The lights are out
Hello darkness
I'm ready to succumb
I follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place
I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down
But a tiny voice
whispers in my mind
You are lost
Hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing
Can there be a day
beyond this night
I don't know anymore
what is true
I can't find my direction
I'm all alone
The only star that guided me
was you
How to rise from the floor
But it's not you I'm rising for
Just do the next right thing
Take a step
Step again
It is all that I can
to do the next right thing
I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down
to this next breath
This next step
This next choice
is one that I can make
So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly
toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn
What comes then
When it's clear that everything
will never be the same again
Then I'll make the choice
to hear that voice
And do the next right thing
