Little Light

Half my life is spent

trying to figure out

where the other half

is supposed to go

try to put them together again

until they make sense

until they're whole

I've opened up my eyes

and I've seen in to the dark

it's hard to tell if there's a light at all

and I can't seem

to open them this time

and the little light that's there

is about to fall

Walk backwards to see

if you can start where you were before

break the locks to see

if there was ever really a door

set fire to yourself

to see if there is anything to burn

keep making mistakes

to see if there is anything to learn

I've opened up my eyes

and I've seen in to the dark

it's hard to tell if there's a light at all

and I can't seem

to open them this time

and the little light that's there

is about to fall

the questions that persist

they will torture you

you will not know until it is too late

the questions that repeat

will never give you answers

you will not know until you've passed

I've opened up my eyes

and I've seen in to the dark

it's hard to tell if there's a light at all

and I can't seem

to open them this time

and the little light that's there

is about to fall
