The Void

One of my darkest songs, expressing what I've held in for along time

All my life I've been a slave to my own corrupt mind
These demons haunting me, Dwelling in the darker side of me
I look inside and find nothing, I can feel myself fade away
All these years fighting off my fears, Secrets that bind me
Turned me into something i never wanted to be

Drowning in a pool of misery, I can feel the weight of my past crush down on me
These demons tearing apart my soul, How long until they eat me whole
I'm bruised, I'm broken, But i have not forgotten who i am
Falling into never ending darkness, I can't see, I can't breathe
All these things I've kept inside me
Preventing me from seeing the light at the end of the tunnel
Eating me whole, These demons have taken control

My mind confronted me, Showing me all the things everyone expected me to be
He told me

I am the demon haunting your soul
I am the nightmare keeping you up at night
I am the memories of your past
I am... I am the void

I gaze into the mirror, Everything seems much clearer
My body tainted in scars, My soul drenched in sorrow
Will i live for tomorrow?
My thoughts and anger keep getting the best of me
The other side i never wanted anyone to see
I am everything i never wanted to be
Will i survive?
