Dead Until Dark

I try so hard to find the light But there's a blackout in my mind Every day starts and ends the same I'm getting sick of the repetition The shards of glass stuck in my heart Are aching, with every beat it gets worse I try to rip them out and they dig in deeper I'm getting sick of this fruitless life It's made up solely of suffering I'm pinned down, the hooks embedded in my skin Keeping me down on the ground I'm being stepped on, like putrid meat All of my strength is gone It was wasted in my feeble attempts to rise again Blood, brusises and eyes clouded with tears This is my place in the world Down on the ground; Drowning in my pain
