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

when 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
