Somewhere in the infinite darkness
It comes, a sound, a whisper barely
No one could be with her in this place
Souls wither in such utter emptiness

Lights illuminate the scene, illuminate everything
Open is the door leading to her room
Open are the innocent children's eyes
Their cries come, their fear is paralyzing

Voices she knows, wishing it wasn’t so
Recognition accompanies crushing disappear
She fell so deep, so easily, so instantly
Unheard she screams, “Leave now, please go”

Track marks exposed, she managed to cover
Once hidden needles, buried deep in her vain
Pointless masquerade among beautiful ignorance
Heartbroken they beg , “Please wake mother”


Under heavy gray skies, beneath a leave barren tree
No child should sit beside the grave of mommy
Her princess baby, one and only boy, dancing little lady
Lost in unending blackness, crying out, searching for me.
