Hospital Song

there's something creeping in the hall
behind the doors
behind the walls
it feeds on dread
beneath the bed
it's screaming now
inside my head

i don't know how
to take it on
to take a monster
with this song
this song i sing
cause i'm driving
alone in fright
alone tonight

we're lost
we've loved
we're fools
we've shoved
our hearts and dreams
back up our sleeves
because with this
we've truly missed
our righteousness
in something above this

that something above
that some other love
forgave us because
of what was done
on a tree
for me to be free
free from the monster
that's chasing me

it's chasing me
and now i've stopped
i'm all run out
and now i've dropped
my will to live
for an empty win
and i can't begin
to explain how hopeless i've been

there's nothing here
it's just a mirror
that shows a soul
it's darkest fear
of being lost
and never found
and i thank the love
that took the tree
that took the nails
that died for me

besides the empty reflections
what's best in my recollection
is the way the words of love sounded
the day the hollow prison resounded
when i came up for air
when i left my mistakes back there
and i never looked back to see
the old darker side of me
because now i'm changed
now i'm forgiven
now the real life is the one i'm living
and in this truth
i'll always be
and now there's light
inside of me
