Sitting in a room where the lights have all died
Stroking my cat, with nowhere to hide
Thinking back on a day that passed without a trace
Meaninglessly drifting through time and space
Another page is turned on the calendar on the wall
While I remain the same, feeling rather small
The road ahead is hidden, far from my sight
I just pace back and forth in the middle of the night
Staring at a tomorrow that’s blurry and gray
Taking out the tears that I’d tucked far away
Trying to act as if everything is fine
I force a small smile, crossing the line
Everyone tells me that the path I take
Is the "right road," with no mistake
But I still don't have a single shred of belief
I’m just wandering, searching for relief
Everyone looks so happy with their smiles
But behind the faces they wear across the miles
They pretend as if they have no thoughts in mind
Staring only at their phones, leaving the world behind
Sometimes I feel it while I’m out for a stroll
This "alone" version of me, deep in my soul
Under this vast sky, so wide and so blue
The world starts to darken, losing its hue
Thinking of a tomorrow that’s blurry and gray
Letting the tears flow that I’d tucked far away
Purposely acting as if I’m in despair
I force a crying face into the air
I tell myself my thoughts are right and true
Trying to convince the heart I once knew
But I don't have any certainty in that, you see
I just fall silent, let the silence be
I wonder if the light will ever find its way
Into this long night, to turn it into day
Or maybe I’m just making a mistake in my sight
Misunderstanding that this moment is the night
Truth is, while staring at tomorrow so gray
I was just averting my eyes, looking away
Purposely acting as if I’d hit the ground
Just to feel depressed where I couldn't be found
Even if I buttoned the first button wrong
I can just fix the rest as I go along
Just because I can’t see the road ahead for me
Doesn't mean I’ve stopped, does it? Truly?
So, let’s go
Without losing heart
