Forever Now

Dreamt-up answers kept turning into nightmares
 Chasing myself on a merry-go-round
 Roller-coaster spiral down darkness
 The burden of proof weighing heavier still
 Without this change in mind I nearly lost it all
 Lost the will to fight and get up after a fall
 I would not intervene I thought that it would pass
 I shattered the dream and broke my world of glass
 The past it hunts me like a forever now
 Holding the future at bay
 Nightmares roaming the streets in my mind
 Keeping the dreams away
 The life I want was pushing me on
 The one to forget holding me down
 Like a lighthouse at night
 The past it burns me like a forever now
 Like a new dawn on the horizon
 See the light at the edge
 Just as I tried to rise to my feet
 For my salvation to meet
 The light it shines just like a mirror
 It comes from deep within
 Pick myself up and just look around
 I recognize the light I found
