Keeping Me Around

In the darkness
You can find a light
In the silence
The only sound is your heart
In the morning
Only the night can rise
But in the darkness
Only the light shines

In just our secrets
Only the truth comes out
It's in the moments
That your memories are found
In the stillness
You can hear the sounds
How you're the only
Thing keeping
Only thing Keeping me around

My ghosts remembered
Still you choose to forget
You speak in whispers
I taste bitter regret
I'm going under
But you won't ever let me drown
You're the only thing keeping
Only thing keeping me around

Keeping me around

When your lungs burn like fire
And your tears fall like rain
When you can't see the sun because the sun won't see your face
When your world is in tatters
And your hopes went down the drain
Remember

In the darkness
You can be my light
In the silence
You can speak for my heart
And when I've lost my way,
down Mercy or pine
and I'm all washed up
at the end of the line
In the darkness
You can be my light
In the silence
You can speak for my heart
