Never to return 
To that place 
Where I don't want to be 
I must not 
Forget what I've learned 
In that place 
Of Adversity 

No light can shine through me 
Resistant yet inflamed 
From innocence into a cold embrace 
Some scars may never see the light again 

Four eyes paint a different trail 
Repeat those unheard words 
Despite your tears I've found the strength to say 

A storm is coming 
I won't succumb to fear 

I must not forget how this world is meant to be seen 

I must not forget
