Darkness take away my light
Burn out the candle
I wont put up a fight
Rip away my flesh
And reveal to me my true form
The monster inside me grows too warm

Darkness inside me
Take away my breath
Make me choke on the words I haven't said
As I cut away on paper skin
Write my life story with pretty ink

Darkness that consumes me
Protect me from the light
It burns my skin and colors me bright
But all is fine when it goes away
And I begin to remember the light never stays
