The darkness... It used to be a place that i could hide A comfort pit. But now it has pierced the full howl Of the undertow of the falling world. I feel the wash up rising above my chin To take me under. I tell myself if i hold steady It will be worth it, I will be great if i just hold composure But that's just not true The younger are passing me now They know not to make the same mistakes as me They look down at me with passivity, passing The Weeknd is singing, cooing from my phone You're only looking for attention... I am smoking a cigarette bummed from my brother, it feels surprisingly Worryingly good after a few days Of not smoking At that moment, thinking i have pierced the safe darkness and gone fully crazy, not stable when im sober Deep into the wine That the fox let out a curdling scream and it agrees horridly with my curdled soul I fear mediocrity I have lost the game of life I am 23, and It is too late.

The Darkness That Was Never Safe.
The darkness... It used to be a place that i could hide A comfort pit. But now it has pierced the full howl Of the undertow of the falling world.
