I've been searching for myself
A shell of what there once was
It's been so long
So long since I have felt alive
But God, I try to live and not just survive

Wash the darkness from our lives
Erase the plague from inside our minds

We lost our way but not our hope
Searching for a way to come back home
Wash the darkness, erase the plague
This is the war we've always known

Where's the love gone?
Why has my heart hidden?
Concealed in the dark
Why am I so numb?
Where did this come from?
When will the healing seep in?

We lost our way but not our hope
Searching for a way to come back home
Wash the darkness, erase the plague
This is the war we've always known

Wash the darkness from our lives
Erase the plague from inside our minds
Against the wall, we give it all
Against the wall, we refuse to fall
We give it all

Don't give up on me
Believe in yourself, believe in hope
I won't give up on you
My hands around your neck to untie the rope
Don't give up on me
Remember who you were, realize how far you've come
I won't give up on you
I won't give up
I won't give up on you
