Darkness


Close your eyes to darkness 

Do not let it in

Find the spark inside your heart

Block demons from within

 

You are your only hero

In the story that you write

So put your pen to paper

All the memories in sight

 

Emptiness hides in every room

It’s like a shadow’s veil

Only love can bring the light

In this simple fairytale

 

Darkness follows me everywhere

From it I can’t escape

How can I get from here to there

When monsters dance and gape
