Little Light

Half my life is spent
 trying to figure out
 where the other half
 is supposed to go
 and try to put them together again
 until they make sense to them
 I've opened up my eyes
 and I've seen in to the dark
 it's hard to tell if there's a light at all
 and I can't seem
 to open them this time
 and the little light that's there
 is about to fall
 Walk backwards to see
 if you can start where you were before
 break the locks to see
 if there was ever really a door
 set fire to yourself
 to see if there is anything to burn
 keep making mistakes
 to see if there is anything to learn
 I've opened up my eyes
 and I've seen in to the dark
 it's hard to tell if there's a light at all
 and I can't seem
 to open them this time
 and the little light that's there
 is about to fall
 the questions that persist
 they will torture you
 you will not know until it is too late
 the questions that repeat
 will never give you answers
 you will not know until you've passed
 I've opened up my eyes
 and I've seen in to the dark
 it's hard to tell if there's a light at all
 and I can't seem
 to open them this time
 and the little light that's there
 is about to fall
