lyrics

There's a raging hope inside me
Knocks and breathes and seeks to mend me

Bang this wall against my head
Hard as I try I can't beat out the light
Dark inside but I can't shut out the light
Why won't you let me be?

There's a growing hope inside me
A tiny stalk of sense to guide me

Raked it up and ripped it's roots
Still it survives cuz I can't weed out the light
Hacked it's trunk and dashed it's fruits
But it lives on for I can't pull up the light
Much as I try I can't block out the light
I want to die...

But you keep me hoping
Though I struggle to be you won't set me free
And you gave me her and this precious gift makes me want to live

I see her eyes and I can't put out the light
Dark inside but I can't shut out the light
Batter my heart so I won't put out the light
Never take hope from me
