Standing in the dark, a lone candle burning bright
The wick burns low, soon the darkness will surround
I scream into the black, daring it to bare it’s fangs
The beginning or the end, I just don’t give a damn
I dare you – come and get me,
I beg you to try
Step into the light that I may see your evil side
Exorcise this emptiness I feel inside of me
Feel
Why can’t I feel?
Something has to be real
In this world of burning fires
Devouring all shred of innocence
I am left untouched & ignored
Let them burn
This once proud warrior now fallen from grace
Now I stand on the precipice between destiny & fate
That once clear line now irreversibly blurred
The wind howls in the abyss who’ll fight for the lost – who cares
I dare you – come and get me
I’m choosing my own fate
I’m destroying my destiny
blowing up the gate
Come hold my soul in your hand
& watch it’s light burn out
Feel
Why can’t I feel?
Something has to be real
In this world of burning fires
Devouring all shred of innocense
I am left untouched & ignored
Let them burn
Nothing makes a difference in this world of black & grey
Use me, abuse me, beat & bruise me
Hate me, then take me, try now & suffocate me
How gallantly you’ll fight
How miserably you’ll fail
Still I call into the darkness
Come take me now!

Thanks š That’s kind of what the message was meant to be that no matter what comes or how bad I feel at the time in the end the darkness loses and I come through the other side š
