I reach out for the light

I reach out for the light

Fingers reaching wide

But am met with only night

.

My bones feel wound too tight

All those fairytales, they lied

But I reach out for the light

.

My core is knotted fright

Though from stone I’ve bravery pried

But am met with only night

.

Tell me, will I be alright?

My hands are all but tied,

So I reach out for the light

.

The future calls, it invites

But not enough tears have I cried

I am met with only night

.

My voice grows thin despite

The sparks I’ve struck inside

So I reach out for the light

But am met with only night
