There’s a shadow on the wall,
There’s screaming in the hall.
And up until just a moment ago,
Something I was supposed to know.

Standing in the Darkness.

My actions violent my words full of hate,
Caught in a prison I have to escape.
I wonder if things were ever clear,
Now that I am standing here.

Standing in the Darkness.

Wait for the Dark to envelope me,
Emotions gone and too blind to see.
There’s no dream no reason to rhyme,
For deep in the darkness there is no time.

Standing in the Darkness.

Eyes clouded over I hear a dark call,
The world around me has started to fall.
The entrance sealed shut from when I came in,
No key to the door, unless it’s a sin.

Standing in the Darkness.

My world has collided and smashed to the ground,
Fear, desperation, hate, anger, all without sound.
As the feelings I had seep somewhere outside,
I pay with my life for this dark, dark ride.

Standing in the Darkness.
