Darkened Passage

Darkness surrounds me-the black hole inside
My tears fall, my heart bleeds-from shadows
in my mind
Where nobody goes- and nobody knows
darkness surrounds me- in pain I confide

I’d rather numb- than in pain
I’d rather be gone- than insane
When all that I love goes away- why stay
the anguish I feel-down inside
is too high a price-for this ride
when all that I touch-has to die
why stay

Darkness surrounds me-the black hole inside
my tears fall, my heart bleeds- from shadows
in my mind

with each step I take-I step back
I can’t seem to stay-on this track
the anger and fear-that I hide
why stay
my soul; cries to hear its own voice
abandoned, alone-not by choice
when life-feels like death anyway
why stay

darkness surrounds me-the black hole inside
darkness surrounds me-the black hole inside
