SOMETHING MISSING

I roamed the darkness for so long it was the the only thing i had
known
and all the while i searched my eyes began to see what i did not
have for so long

around a corner a dim shimmer
began to glow brighter and brighter
and blindness found my eyes
so i snuffed out the candle that caused my pain

now i continue on
i fill as if i left something behind
the smoke and the flame still haunts my mind

that one glance of a single flame
changed my thoughts
they are not what they used to be
but those old shadows that dance are in my mind

it was just a taist of what could be
and now the darkness is still me
and so now what would it mean
these new filling are growing brighter again and i still fill their
strength
as i walk the darkness

but this time i have hope and a desire to find the light again i
search now for a means to an end
and now its not just one emotion of being lost

but desire hope anxity everything i need to continue on to find a
reason
all this from one need to change
brought on buy one light in darkness
brought on buy one flame
