Dark Reflections
And grim rejection
Darkness is under your bed at night
Darkness consumes you when no one is in sight
Darkness breathes down your spine
Waiting for you to lose every piece of your mind
Do you feel it yet?
Itโs a game of Russian roulette
Dangerous, unpredictable, and fearful
Do you get it yet?
Darkness is skillful
It plots and schemes against you when youโre low
All the way until youโre crippled, stiff, and unable to move
Itโs a wreaking, screaming, nightmare
Something not quite fair
But awfully crude
Do you finally get it yet?
The darkness is you
But you still donโt have a clue
