As much a part of me as you are now
This darkness still penetrates my soul
In the light I can’t lose sight
Of my evanescent sorrow
Chained, just within its piercing gaze
You set me free, if just for today

[Chorus]
Sweet sorrowful darkness,
I can’t escape it
What would I be but a shadow of myself?
I belong to you, but still, it haunts me so
You know we can fight it together

You see me sinking and you tell me
Don’t worry, love
But don’t you know that it lurks in the corners of the light?
Nowhere is safe
But I want to believe
So I let myself fall into you

[Chorus]
Sweet sorrowful darkness,
I can’t escape it
What would I be but a shadow of myself?
I belong to you, but it still haunts me so
You know we can fight it together

(In a whisper)
Without its claws in my heart
I could not feel
Without your love
This pain would never heal

[Chorus]
Sweet sorrowful darkness,
I can’t escape it
What would I be but a shadow of myself?
I belong to you, but it still haunts me so
You know we can fight it together

I belong to you, but it still haunts me so
You know we can fight it together
If just for today…

I sit alone in an isolated corner
The silence of a dropping tear is paralyzing.
The dark brings light and visions to my mind
Solutions to my problems, I fail to find.
Dark emotions overflow my body
Breathless gasps accomplish little
Trying to figure this effortless riddle.
Eyes wet with salt
I convince myself nothing’s my fault
My eyes close with reassurance
Hoping the night will last with endurance
When the darkness darkens
All thoughts are replaced
The pains and tears are soon erased.
The darkness is now replaced with light
I no longer feel the need to fight.



--



Shattered dreams bring shattering screams
Awakening into reality; impossible, by any means
Trapped in this world and I just want out
Screaming, though nobody hears the shout
Thoughts; scattered and twisted, yet inescapable
I want to unleash these demons but I’m somehow incapable.
Bound by fear and undying night
This powerless effort I hope will bring light
My screams grow sharper as you tear into me
Waiting and hoping for this nightmare to flee.

Head pounding.
Blood pumping mercilessly through my viens.
Tears streaming relentlessly from my eyes.
I hate this feeling.
I love this feeling.
I need this feeling..
To confine me.
To liberate me.
To bring me to reception and consolation.
Thoughts racing.
Desires picking irresponsibly at my reasoning.
Emotions intertwined carelessly with apprehension.
I hate these thoughts.
I love these thoughts.
I need these thoughts..
To reprimand me.
To commend me.
To bring me to realization and appreciation.
What doesn’t destroy me will fortify me.
