The Darkness Within
Here in this darkness I descend
Depression heavy within the caveats I cannot defend
I’m just a broken man shattered upon the abandoned stage of life
I’ll sing these songs hoping to recapture the grace of strife
Misery’s forgotten words, I’ll scream them out to be free
Screaming to the lord I worship that never answers me
My salvation is haunted by the melody of this song
As I strum along to the chords which always sound wrong
And now my body hates to leave this sickness I’ve achieved
All coming from the damage of inanity because I believed
I’m abandoned in the eyes of the above, bereft of his grace
Lest I drown within the darkness within me, watch in my disgrace
This is the end of the line leading to the start
Yet I remain here, frozen in the rhythm, which forces me to part
Save me, save me, save me, I’m drowning within this pain
And suffocating under the weight of this endless rain
In these arms of mercy, I remain as the lamb of this eternal lie
Through the darkest of times, will it cover my eyes from the allure of the sky
And make me see, all of the truth reflected within the light
Or shall it embed me with the darkness within the night
Hearing these words of pain collapsing upon me
And how I despise this shell of a body that has been set free
I struggle not to fall upon these knees and curse the above
As he sends to me his miseries upon the wings of these forsaken doves
And mocks me as I drown in these lies summated within my heart
This darkness within is burning this heart, lord, shan’t it be torn apart
And all these pains that have entered me, all these sins I have done
Do they create enough of a reason to force my cowardice to run
And create this palisade against he who has unending grace,
As I continue to hallucinate of fallacies within my eternal disgrace
And do I continue to descend into this darkness created below me
As I close these eyes for one finally time, for no longer do I wish to see
This silence within my misery; the judge of life and death
He has finally decided it be fit—for me to be freed from my breath.
