The velvet darkness, ever present.
The crushing loneliness, overwhelming.
The screams of agony, soul wrenching.
The primal terror, controlling.
The sadness, understated.

I'm here with you now
No second thoughts
I've decided

I'm ready to take the plunge
Into those mysterious depths
Not knowing how it will end

Love or loathe
Life or death
Victory or failure?

The black veil shrouds my vision
I can't see in front of me, I can't see behind
I walk on, purely out of fear for what will happen if I stop
I walk for what seems like an eternity
I panic, wondering if I'll ever escape this void
I scream, hoping someone will hear
I beg to hear another voice
I plead for relief from this torture
I start to consider stopping
I want this to end
I can't carry on like this
Nobody to help me
Nobody to care
Nobody to lift the veil
No reason to continue.

Hold me close, it's so cold
Make the first move, I'm not that bold
This cold weather do I loathe
So with your warm skin clothe
Me
Be
My covering tonight
No honey, let's not fight
Arguments do us no good
Be it about money or food
Hold me tonight
Hold me till the morning light
