The medicine that numbed my soul lost its power   A fantasy of serenity crumbles in my hands   Another layer has been stripped away,   exposing a child made with fear and rage   I need to be the one that's not afraid to call me out,   show compassion, break me down   I will survive, we will survive      As the roads grow longer I see the elements of my distractions dissolve   Vampire's melt away when they're exposed to suns light   IV has been taken out which gives way to the irritants of reality   But I know somewhere in that place lies serenity      To my friends goes my gratitude, in the end we will survive   Love conquers all, in the end we will survive
