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
