stop being fooled by what seems to be there
dig deep and look into my eyes
you claim to know me
but are blind to the sadness
that I hide behind my smile
you knew of my problem
that included making art
on a canvas
that is my skin
the dark was gone
but slowly crept its way back
engulfing the light that you offered
thank you for saving me
but no one can save me
now that there is no light left
to find me in this dark room

but slowly crept its way back
engulfing the light that you offered
thank you for saving me
but no one can save me
now that there is no light left
to find me in this dark room
