I am drowning in my endless sorrow.

I am helplessly in love with sadness.

Never looking forward to tomorrow.

Don't get too close, you can't stand my madness.

All alone is when my thoughts take over.

The misery keeps me alive and well.

Make way, my dark demon is my captor.

I don't know how to escape from this hell.

Trapped inside this cage like an animal,

The light inside my soul yearns to be free.

I have finally found my terminal,

My escape, my release, so let me be.

It finally clicked that it was just fright.

Now, the darkness has succumbed to the light.
