Darkness

The darkness hits me late at night
I haven't showered I look a fright
Feel so ashamed I hide away
I keep hoping for a better day
But better days aren't mine to find
And silence doesn't feel so kind
The lethargy is hard to understand
The time that flows away like sand

The darkness rises up in me
It's all I ever know or see
I feel the anguish of my pain
Return to me, return again

Languished in a rut so bleak
I feel so brittle and so weak
This world is such a painful ride
And I get drowned in rising tide
The life I used to know is through
I have nothing to look forward to
Sands and seas are moving fast
There is no future and no past

The darkness rises up in me
It's all I ever know or see
I feel the anguish of my pain
Return to me, return again

Failing to believe in hope
A failure to maintain or cope
A world that's falling endlessly
Chains so tight and can't get free.

The darkness rises up in me
It's all I ever know or see
I feel the anguish of my pain
Return to me, return again

The darkness rises up in me
It's all I ever know or see
I feel the anguish of my pain
Return to me, return again

This song is about the deep dark pit of depression that swallows a whole person in absolute misery.
