It's just like a normal day and you don't think you're ready yet
But how wrong you are, as this can consume at any minute

You are standing but fall down, the shock also adding to the torment
You hear screams and sirens, and wonder, will I join the fallen?
There's cards and flowers on your window, your friends and family pleading for you to stay
But another thing draws you towards it, being dark and scary, but somehow inviting

You see it as the shadow of the day
The knowledge that it'll soon embrace you with darkness
Will the darkness last, or a white light come to end the suffering?
It is certain now you lost the fight, but wonder, was I ever fighting?

It dawns on you that you've had enough, you want the pain to end
So let the eternal shadow embrace you, and become your friend
