Searching The Dark


Going into the deep Finding purpose Searching the dark Emptiness was found The silence deafening Becoming to still to exist What lessons learned Purpose evades light Lights out of reach Searching the dark Energy is waining Mind is fading Madness creeps in The world distorts And then... silence Searching the dark There's clarity in madness There's hope in mind Clarity and hope brings light Light brings purpose Purpose breaks the silence No longer searching in the dark
