The darkness is gone, not even the light can take hold.
I'm trapped in the void, no more love to behold.
There is nowhere I belong, a lonely broken heart.
I've been cast out by the light and expelled from the dark.

I have nowhere to run and no chance of flight.
My sentence will run, with no end in sight.
I'm surrounded by life, muscle and bone.
Can anybody see me? Am I here all alone?

I have nothing left, I now circle the drain.
My walls have been built, each brick laid with pain.
There are plenty of others, who know how I feel.
It's all in my head, but the struggle is real.

Why am I punished, for some other's sin?
I long for the day, when the light comes back in.
In the void I am numb, no harm can come here.
But the dark and the light, are both very near.
My life with depression.
