I awake alone
My heart as cold as stone
And from my bed, so warm
Step into the unknown

A chill runs down my spine
As I look for a sign
When they ask how I’m doing
I tell them I am fine

But deep inside my heart
I’m still falling apart
How can I have ended
When I didn’t even start

Where, then, is my knight
The one who’ll win my fight
My savior in disguise
Who’ll make everything right

Where then, is my hope
That always helped me cope
The knife for me to cut
My ever binding rope

A voice calls in my head
nothing heard, nothing said
a tremble in my soul
makes me wake up instead

I am where I began
In the place from which I ran
And in the heart of darkness
I do all that I can

I awake alone
I guess I should’ve known
But the light inside my soul
though still feeble, it has grown
