The storyteller

[Verse 1]
Did I ever ask to be saved?
To have all my problems solved?
All I asked you for was to wait,
To stay faithful, to hold.
Did I call you with me
Into that place of shadows and pain?
I only asked you to be
There while I'm fighting my way.

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't pretend you don't see,
I'm not asking for that much.
Let me into your mind —
See the truth without retouch.

[Chorus]
Stay near. Don't hide your eyes.
Listen closely. Breathe. Look.
I'll show you the pain that lives inside.
Every soul hides this kind of wound.

[Verse 2]
In everyone lives an ancient dark.
Everyone dreams of reaching the light.
But some of us lost the path like a spark
And can't make it through.
I'll be the sight.
I willfully sank to the very bottom —
Not for pain's sake, totally planned.
I was drawing a map, now I got it,
So you can take a look and be saved

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me you can do it alone.
I had no doubt. But this world lied.
You're in the dark, and I am your lantern.
I am your map and your silent guide.

[Chorus]
Stay near. Don't hide your eyes.
Listen closely. Breathe. Look.
I'll show you the pain that lives inside.
Every soul hides this kind of wound.

[Bridge]
I'm not afraid of the dark.
You can breathe there too.
I'm not afraid of pain.
It can be tamed and ruled.
The darkest shadows
Wander in every mind.
The scariest monsters
They are inside.
Don't be afraid to look and decide
If you could be your own strength
And I'll be a lantern, your silent guide
Out of pain and darkness,
Out of yourself.

[Final Chorus]
Listen.
Look.
Accept.
The shadows inside.
