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
