Once again I try to slip into the darkness To cleanse my memories, To lose my consciousness. Most fall senselessly into it, As your thoughts begin to fade, As your feeling begins to dull. I must be different because I sense it all. My body becomes a statue My shadow appears in site What plans do I have for myself tonight? Will I take a limb and drag myself away? Will I lean in close and screech my name? It feels so real but it resides in my brain, I would fight but my body pleads to stay, I would scream but lips refuse to say, Peace only comes when I slip away.
