The darkness, the darkness, the darkness,

I can feel it behind me

Its breath heavy on my neck

Cut, slice, tear, hang,

Whispers fill my thoughts

Clouding all senses

Why won’t it stop?

 

Control, Control, Control

That is what I need I need to be me

This darkness is suffocating

I can’t think straight

My mind is in a blur

Why won’t it stop?

 

Choices, Choices, Choices

I’m making all the wrong ones.

The whispers turn to shouts

They are all I hear

The blood falls down my wrist

The blade rests in my hand

Why won’t it stop?

 

Deeper, Deeper, Deeper

That’s what it said

Pleading me, begging me, asking for more

The scars on my arm leaving hardly any space

The blade gleams with a beckoning light

Whispers echo through the night

Why won’t it stop?

 

More, More, More

The voices getting louder,

No one seem to listen,

No one seems to care,

I’ve never been more alone,

I sit here bruised and bleeding,

Why won’t it stop?

 

The Silence, The Silence, The Silence,

It’s as quiet as the night,

My veins have run dry

And my heart is still,

The darkness has finally won,

I am no longer here

It finally ends.
