The darkness is creeping in
It’s becoming your twin
You are trying so bad to hold it back
But let me tell you, there is no going back
That person you miss is no longer here
You are all surrounded by fear
It’s not about the person you lost
It’s all about the fear of being lost
Your energy is now drained
And your soul got stained
You feel like the days are open-ended
You know your heart will never be mended
Standing on that rooftop
Thinking about how his heart had stopped
My cold heart ached in pain,
As I thought about all those moments that went in vain
Looking down and seeing how high I was,
The thought of jumping covered my heart with a gauze
There was a war building up inside my mind
I was in fear that it would make me go blind
They said: There is remedy for everything except death
I didn’t want them to suffer the aftermath of my last breath
The darkness is creeping in
It’s becoming your twin
You are trapped in a black room
A room that lacks happiness
Your energy is no longer felt
Your soul is about to melt
You no longer have that smile
You no longer walk that mile
Your friends are your enemies
You feel like you have lived for centuries
It’s that feeling inside of you
It’s those voices inside your head
It’s depression, my dear friend
And there is no end
So tell me:
Are you in fear of the darkness?
Or can’t you bear being armless?
