This song was inspired by my niece Carissa, who committed suicide in 2017 at the age of 32. Musically, it was inspired by Killing Joke's "Love Like Blood".
lyrics
Verse 1:
Is there an end to this misery
A light at the end of the tunnel road
You left this world before me
'Cause you couldn't take the load
That load that is on me now
As I fall further in the abyss
And I wonder if light's shining down
Will I ever climb out of this
Chorus:
As I stare into the light
I wonder where it will now go
As it shines into my eyes
Will I die and still have my soul
Verse 2:
Carissa's death, it pained me
And it helped bring me to a new low
It killed what's left of the heart in me
The darkness, it still grows
Chorus
Verse 3:
A light to illuminate this sphere
Of possibilities
