Broken Lightbulbs

Waiting for the lights to come on
I've been trapped inside the dark for far too long
Trying hard to break these chains
Trapped by demons in my brain
It's getting harder for me to stay strong

2 AM I'm staring at the wall
I wonder why I'm still trying at all
I'd tell them all but no one cares
I'm trapped alone and I don't dare
To think of how much farther I could fall

Just one more step off this ledge
And you won't have to see me again
I'm waiting for a light that will not come

It's not like you'd care if I'm gone
I'm a burden crushing everyone
I'm waiting for a light that will not come

I can feel my time slowly fading away
Like sand that's falling down grain by grain
Trapped within this hourglass
Wishing for a second chance
To live through my own life without this pain

Waiting for the end, but running scared
No matter what I'll never be prepared
I wish that I could get away
Forever young I wish to stay
But ticking clocks and death are so unfair

Just one more step off this ledge
And you won't have to see me again
I'm waiting for a light that will not come

It's not like you'd care if I'm gone
I'm a burden crushing everyone
I'm waiting for a light that will not come

Just one more step off this ledge
And you won't have to see me again
I'm waiting for a light that will not come

It's not like you'd care if I'm gone
I'm a burden crushing everyone
I'm waiting for a light that will not come

The switch does work, the power's on
But still it's dark, all light is gone
With broken Lightbulbs, light will never come
