Breathing The Dark

It lets no light in

It feeds on my pain

I try to feel something

Numbness is all that's left

With every breath

Another piece of me is gone

As if life is leaving me

Leaving nothing behind

Try to hold on

My spirit is gone

Panic runs through me

Fighting the suffering

It spites me

Entices me

It leads me on

Then crushes my dreams

It leaves me hollow

Pulling me deeper

It has no compassion

It wants full control

Try to hold on

My spirit is gone

Fighting to overcome

But every battle is lost

Breathe in the dark

It's all that's here

Breathe in the loss,

Awaken the fear

In this dark place

Tasting my tears

Ripping my mind

Now madness becomes me

Take this sickness away

It drains me, it aches me,

It pulls all hope from me

Like walls it surrounds me

It towers above me

Keeps drawing me in

Showing no love,

but loving my sin

Breathe in the dark

It's all that's here

Breathe in the loss

Awaken the fear

In this dark place

Tasting my tears

What once was is gone

Now misery becomes me
