the night closes in.

There is a suffocating pull into the downward spin.
Locked up in this rattled brain
With only the sorrow and the pain

When the sun burns my eyes
I see nothing but the broken lines
Where forever looms.

I fell through the darkness and through the light
Never pausing to realize
The dark was swallowing me once more.

There is no sleep
There is no release
There is only me in this darkest place.

Reach out in sorrow
And find only pain
Lock up tomorrow and do it again.

In the midst of the darkness
I can't see the light
Drowning, drowning, alone
