I tried to walk into the light, but the darkness pulled me back

I called out for help from all that was pure,

I got the laughter of all that wasn't

I opened my heart to god. Silence answered.

I swore my faith, heaven laughed at me, shoved me back and told me to leave

I tried to help, You told me I made it worse

I tried to fix it, It fell apart

I tried to be honest. I got nothing but lies.

I tried to walk in the light, The darkness pulled me back, the darkness pulled me under

the darkness pulled me from the light.

I lived in the dark afraid of the light. to be burned by it again. 

In my heart there was still good. Still begging to be let out. To make it right

Surround me was evil. Surrounding me was hate. I hid from a light until I felt it again.

Burning through my heart. Never having left it. The darkness tried to pull me back.

To that darkness. Now I only laugh.
