Into the darkness I sometimes long to fall To finally get away from it all Longing for the sweet darkness to surround me For stress/heartache/turmoil to let me be! Oh sweet darkness take me away Must I bear another day? How serene it would be to let it all go How serene to sleep forever down below Close my eyes forever All ties to stress and pain will sever Oh sweet darkness take me, surround me Oh sweet darkness, set me free.
