The Darkness

The Darkness

 

I’ve learned so many things from this life

I’ve seen so much horror in my time

I may still be so young

But deep down I hope for a gun

 

I lie awake in the darkness

Being attacked by all the hurt

Staring into the black

Losing all of the happiness

 

The darkness gets closer…

 

And I feel for a hand

For a friend to guide me through

To help me to stand

For someone who to me will be true

 

Stuck on my back, behind a veil of cold

Searching and searching for my lost heart

It was taken from me and sold

Sold to pain, sold to hate

 

The darkness gets closer…

 

The green of life can mean so much

The start of a new world

The end of old hate

The meeting of our own fate

 

What is a new life if the darkness hides it

What is the light if there’s no one to see

I breathe only black, see only tears

The wasted life we had is all I’ll ever be

 

The darkness gets closer…
