Isaiah Lowery IV - In The Dark Lyrics

There's less colors than there used to be
And less time there is ahead of me
Can't help thinking that the bad I've done
Is paying off in pain that I receive
There's less flowers in the field of dreams
There's less passion now inside of me
Why should I try if I have to tie
Myself to misery?
Everybody is preoccupied
With living their own life
Depending on my light
So why am I in the dark?
Why am I in the dark?
How can I see
How to be better than
I used to be?
Can a person change?
Or do we just stay the same?
There's less stars above than nights before
But more bottles from the liquor store
If I drown in whisky brown
Maybe then I could be at peace
There's less hope inside than I once had
Dropping the optimist from seasons past
How can I cheer if every year
I lose myself to fear?
Everyone is running their race
While I'm staying in place
Spotlight on my shame
So why am I in the dark?
Why am I in the dark?
How can I see
How to be better than
I used to be?
My reflection begs for change
He's screaming "get out the way"
