In the dark Between the seams Where true colors glisten With only a spark Voices speak But I don't want to listen Declining to think Refilling my drink To drown out the noise The dark thoughts poised Creeping in my head Where everything is dead Cold tomb that I've built Out of fear shame and guilt Trapped by logic and doubt Locked down with no way out I've faced the music And it's not in tune How do I fix this? How do I move through it? Things are looking hopeless Starting to feel soulless Thought I'd find an answer But the truth is a cancer Eating away what remains Killing off heart and brain I've lost the tools to repair I'm giving in to despair Despite my will to fight I'm losing my light I'm losing my mind I'm starting to feel... I'm losing my life
