Safe in The Darkness

Used to be afraid of the dark.

Not knowing what was there put fear into my heart. 

I wasn't afraid of what I could see,

No matter how intimidating, or menacing it seemed.

If I could see it, I could fight it, never let it take hold of me. 

So when I found myself in darkness, 

I found a way to light it up. 

Till I fucked up, and fell in love.  

I don't fear dark, I embrace it. 

The truth is brought to light and I don't wanna face it. 

Light brings pain,

it doesn't bring peace of mind.

I hate it so much, 

since I'm no longer brave or tough. 

Guess that's the price you pay, when you 

stick by someone, who shows you no love. 

The memories flow like never-ending reruns.

looping inside my thoughts,

mercilessly causing my mind to come undone. 

Everyone tells me should soak up a little sun.

Come out of hiding, and have some fun.

They say everything will be alright,

and to move on with my life.

I can't though, I'm too tired to try. 

I'd rather find somewhere dark where I can run and hide.

Beat's the hell out of seeing the mess I made of my life.
