Darkness Within

As the days go by

You search for reasons not to cry

Never at all finding one

And screaming at the top of your lungs ' I'm done!'

When the darkness within

Smiles its black-toothed grin

You had best believe

You'll not be granted a reprieve

And as the darkness creeps further in

Digging its claws into your skin

You let it take control

While you retreat deep into your hole

It's easier that way

Instead of dealing with the day-to-day

To wrap yourself in darkness' embrace

Is sometimes the best way to save face
