The dark void inside me
There is a dark hole, thats been growing for a while.
Where there was once light, is now dark, with no desire.
Day by day my body aches, causing the hole to deepen.
Is it sadness, is it fear, it is a void that will not be filled.
I am trapped in burned down mansions, cigarette ashes, and lipstick stain napkins.
I am standing drenched in open wounds, this hole is deep, what can I do?
There is medicine to cure my pain, it never last the hole gets deeper.
You took my hand to pull me through, the hole pushed me back
swallowing me whole. I am held prisoner in this hole, I scream and cry.
It echoes through the vacant room, where my young soul still resides.
The hole is dark and freezing cold, it makes you feel all alone.
Oh how I wish to feel not this pain, buried in this hole is not the way.
I think of hope, and happy things.
I feel the light pierce my skin,
it is you once again pulling with all your might.
And once the light gave me strength, I scream,
I can make it to the sunrise!
I can make it to the sunrise!
And never ever see the hole again.
