Mindless laze
To pass the days
Not love but love lost
Life seemed to be tossed
Like a ship at sea.

A cage to snare the mind
Oh the pain and ruthless bind
An escape you cannot find
Tearing ripping at the soul
Leaving nothing but a dark,
Empty hole.

Dark is the mind
Light left behind
Time is never enough
To find one to confide.

Eyes close shut
Dreams have long disappeared
Only the cold reality that you've always feared.
Images of demons, and burning flesh
A terrible ending but you don't distress.

Somewhere out of the pain and defeat
There comes a fulfilling peace.
As strange as it seems
you know that it is done
A feeling of relief.

Dark is the mind
Light left behind
Time is never enough
To find one to confide.

Never to return
You take your last breath
Lying on the floor
Heaving your chest
Asking yourself why
Where it began and what you've become
To the beast you begin to succumb.

To give up life
A thing many fight to keep.
It seems so selfish to take your own
Ending yourself, I can't condone.
Dark is the Mind.
