[- ; bonk!]

"Darkness, it burns
it lives inside my soul
Clawing its way out
Tearing apart from my very core

I will not fall
I will not give in
I will not be victim to the darkened thoughts all around

Shadows dancing on the walls
Surrounding me, trapping me
Darkness comes from the inside out

I refuse to fall
I will take my stand
I won't be a victim to the darkness
I won't obey my mind's commands

Light dances around in the skies
It pierces the dark, it brings me back to life
It chases away the demons of my mind
I have hope as long as I have the light

But the light is already fading from my eyes
Swallowed by the darkness and hidden by the night
I'm all alone now, the light is gone
It's just me and my dark thoughts

I've fallen victim, even though I said I never would
I can't control it, I let it all go
The darkness is my keeper, it tells me what I must do
The darkness won't leave me, it's forever in my soul

Please forgive me, but the darkness has won
I know I promised I would fight it, and I tried
I tried so hard
But my efforts were in vain all along
There was never truly a chance for me to ever see the light..."
