Darkness, Oh Darkness

There's just so much pain
I cannot express
So much left to say
But can't get off my chest

It's growing a void
And I cannot compress
Can't lay it to sleep
And can't get any rest

This pen is my blade
And this paper my veins
These lyrics my blood
These songs keep me sane

Maybe one day
It'll all go away
But just for now
I'm here and it stays

Still pullin' that bottle
Still chasin' that grace
Still numbing my soul
I can't pick up the pace

Just how many days
Stuck in this haze
I'm losing my memory
Losing my way

A bottle a day
Lost in a daze
Drinking my misery
Wasting away

Blood level. 48
Withdrawing like hell
Feeling that shake
Drifting away

Darkness, oh darkness
The cold and wicked temptress
Please take me forsake me
So bleak so dark so deadly

A prophecy an omen
The darkened damned awoken
Such beauty she moves me
A grim embrace unholy

I've given up
Yeah man I've had enough
Keep taking it down
So it dulls out the sound

I can't seem to stop
It's just never enough
Keep trying to quit
But it don't give a shit

I'm losing myself
And I'm losing my mind
Thinking about you all day
All the time

I gave you my heart
And I gave you my soul
I lost all control
As it dug a dark hole

Please just for once
Let me do something right
Let me lay down my guard
Let me win this damn fight

You hear in my words
Feel it burn give me light
Because I'm feeling so cold
Dropping pulse say goodnight

Face down on the floor
And I cannot ignore
The sweat seems to poor
And I just want it more

While screaming and praying
And begging for death
She crawls down my throat
Gives me warmth gives me breath

Darkness, oh darkness
The cold and wicked temptress
Please take me forsake me
So bleak so dark so deadly

A prophecy an omen
The darkened damned awoken
Such beauty she moves me
A grim embrace unholy
