    Broken down inside, Married to my pride
    Am I doomed to live at the mercy of my ghosts?
    This haunting presence lingers in the stale air
    Refusing to leave and refusing to show itself
    The fix is never as easy as they say
    Will I find the light? Can I erase their calls?

    Someone please save me from myself
    I'm drowning in this sea of my own design
    Addicted to that feeling, I fell deeper down
    Just under the surface, the current took me under
    Convinced on the outside, the sunshine was real
    Convinced on the inside, her feelings were real

    Years of my life set ablaze before my eyes
    She was too sick of me to even try
    Forced to move on, I'll live my own life
    Leaving behind this feeling of regret
    The fire that filled my soul now flickers out in silence
    The promises of forever, disintegrated into nothing

    So I dig myself out of the ground
    Six feet under, I've tried my hardest
    The earth will stop the moment I reach the surface
    Someone will be waiting to lend me a hand
    This hand remains unknown for now, but when I see her I'll know
    With her hand, my life will be left to grow into something great
    She will help me complete my journey through the elements

    Pretty powerful. Some excellent lines here, my favourites are:

    Convinced on the outside, the sunshine was real
    Convinced on the inside, her feelings were real
