The Light
Lacrima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s crawling up my throat
I am too blind to see
I can’t escape from that sinking boat
My head is aching
And I’m forced to be alone
The dark is pulling me off of this
This empty throne
Im running from the voices that are forcing me to stay
Please take this pain away
I’m slowly fading every night
Still running from the world that is bearing on my life
I am chasing the light
I am chasing the light
Here I am after all these weeks
Tryin‘ to understand why this is happening to me
You end it all, was it only a dream?
Tell me why can‘t we go on
You and me as one?
Every day is exactly the same
I can pull push toss and turn
But I always get the blame
I‘m such a waste such a fucking disgrace
I know you‘re killing me but I can‘t break away
I‘m sick and tired to suffer the pain
Bored of the same old story
I think I‘ll never love again
My world is breaking every day
Im running from the voices that are forcing me to stay
Please take this pain away
I’m slowly fading every night
Still running from the world that is bearing on my life
I am chasing the light
I am chasing the light
Scary feelings are haunting me
It’s crawling up my throat
I am too blind to see
I can’t escape from that sinking boat
Pressure rising from the inside
I can run but i can never hide
I can run but i can never hide
I know the light that i can see
Will help so that I can break free
My world is breaking every day
Im running from the voices that are forcing me to stay
Please take this pain away
I’m slowly fading every night
Still running from the world that is bearing on my life
I am chasing the light
I am chasing the light
I am chasing the light
I am chasing the light
