all the rain
all the pain

i can't handle it anymore
the absence of light

brought to my knees one final time
i will not rise again

darkness consumes me from within
extinguishing all forms of desire

no longer is there a fire deep within
passion, pain, all lost unto the rain

i no longer feel the need for anything at all
my body's become simply an unkept house

my mind retreats into places not my own
unwilling to forge for a unique existence

the waters, heavens, books, my very heart
all become silent to my cries

my friend turns his back
my dreams fade into the lake of darkness before me

the only thing left is shallow, selfish, regret
an unfueled desire to make it right

but i no longer possess flint, wood, fuel
or even the eyes to regard life's flame

spiralling downwards
there's no spot to crash

simply fall farther below
until i have forever forgotten who i once used to be

perhaps one day i'll remember who i am
and begin the climb to who i used to believe i was

but not today
inspiration no longer exists for me for now

so into night and darkness i'll walk
and try to forget that i used to dream
