How much father do I have to go Before I reach the lighthouse on my own I'm the captain but I can't control the waves Couldn't even tell you all the ways I've tried The nights I cried How much longer do I have to wait Please don't ask me to accept this fate I'm the captain but I can't control the waves Couldn't even tell you all the ways I've tried The nights I cried I don't know if I'll make it to the lighthouse Can anybody out there hear me as I cry out The darkness keeps eating at me from the inside out But I'll keep on sailing on Until I reach the lighthouse Until I reach the lighthouse Why must I traverse these unsure waters? Am I damned for leaving him at his altar? I am the captain, but I am consumed by doubt I truly believed that I would be free by now Free somehow Why am I at war with my own brain? Is this all just self-inflicted pain? I am the captain, but I am consumed by doubt I truly believed that I would be free by now Free somehow I don't know if I'll make it to the lighthouse Can anybody out there hear me as I cry out The darkness keeps eating at me from the inside out But I'll keep on sailing on Until I reach the lighthouse Until I reach the lighthouse All this suffering it must count for something All this heartache it can't be for nothing All this suffering it must count for something All this heartache it can't be for nothing I don't know if I'll make it to the lighthouse Can anybody out there hear me as I cry out The darkness keeps eating at me from the inside out But I'll keep on sailing on Until I reach the lighthouse
