In the dark
Between the seams
Where true colors glisten
With only a spark
Voices speak
But I don't want to listen
Declining to think
Refilling my drink
To drown out the noise
The dark thoughts poised
Creeping in my head
Where everything is dead
Cold tomb that I've built
Out of fear shame and guilt
Trapped by logic and doubt
Locked down with no way out
I've faced the music
And it's not in tune
How do I fix this?
How do I move through it?
Things are looking hopeless
Starting to feel soulless
Thought I'd find an answer
But the truth is a cancer
Eating away what remains
Killing off heart and brain
I've lost the tools to repair
I'm giving in to despair
Despite my will to fight
I'm losing my light
I'm losing my mind
I'm starting to feel...
I'm losing my life
