My Darkest Season

I look beyond the lines of reason
The darkest cords of life unreeling
I can't decide what it is I see
The emptiness or the depths of me

The quietness of night is screaming
“The peace I've made in dark is bleeding”
As dawn awakes into the day
And we all go about our business

I walk in stride, the day's unending
Another lie, some more pretending
Another chant, another chord
Another tear we can't afford

I lie beside her now she's sleeping
Smiling in her deepest dreaming
But I'm awake, can't sleep, still thinking
Reason out this darkest season
