In the dark I huddle close

Within night's tight embrace.

I blow out the candlelight

For a thicker wrap, in case.

Eyes are open or they're closed,

I still feel alone.

Layers of suffocation cannot stop

The winds that chill the bone.

Who am I? I cannot see

Any mirrors in the night.

Can you find a kindred soul

Without reflecting light?

Darkness, Darkness, my dear friend,

My beautiful delusion,

Can you stop the demons there

Or is your safety an illusion?

There's no light to shine upon

What is right or true.

Are you now part of me

Or am I part of you?

Here's a surface cold and sharp,

Cracks misshape its figure.

An evil beauty close to me,

Makes me feel meager.

Darkness, Darkness, can you fix

The broken mirror glass?

It distorts my image

To burning fields of grass.

What happened to the little girl?

Where's the precious lamb?

Let the glass be smooth again

To see me as I am.
