When the Lights Go Out

As the floodgates snap open,
And the memories rush by,
I fight to hold back the tears -
Try not to cry!

Toss and turn,
Rage and burn,
Till you're too numb to feel the pain!
Toss and turn,
Rage and burn,
Until weariness takes you again!

As the veil of courage flutters,
And old fears come crawling out,
I fight to master my senses -
Try not to shout!

Toss and turn,
Rage and burn,
Till you're too numb to feel the pain!
Toss and turn,
Rage and burn,
Until weariness takes you again!

As steely resolve wavers,
And the doubts start to whisper,
I fight to regain control -
Try not to surrender!

Toss and turn,
Rage and burn,
Till you're too numb to feel the pain!
Toss and turn,
Rage and burn,
Until weariness takes you again!
