What else is one to do



What else is one to do

When everything you once knew



Everything was taken

Everything was ruined



Everything you knew was destroyed



Left sitting in the ashes

Left with nothing in sight

No one and nothing to be seen for miles

Just the ashes that remain

And an emptiness inside



What is one to do



What is one to do in this instance

When your soul has been sucked from your body, and a skeleton remains



Your heart it doesn’t beat any longer

Your lungs do not breath air



What is one to do



A change is happening

A change indeed

When I realize this is not me



This isn’t who I was

Isn’t who I want to be

Yet I sit in these ashes

Alone in the dark



How did I get here, when will I part

With this darkness that surrounds me



Maybe it was taken so change could occur

Maybe it wasn’t taken at all; it evolved

Im evolving



Then I feel it the darkness is still there as I feel the air fill my lungs

As I feel my heart beat a single beat



The darkness is still there I feel it

Or is it?

As I open my eyes I see

I see that the darkness has dissipated and the rain washed away the ashes

And the light shines through



It isn’t as I thought

I just kept dwelling on what is one to do

Open your eyes, and maybe you’ll see

Something that wasn’t there before

Something that changed me



The darkness will always be there

It will come and go

Just as the light

I just have to surf that wave

And ride it to the shore

The darkness will be there

But it doesn’t have to consume me or you

The darkness will be there

What is one to do
