Darkness Trickles

Whispers in the shadow, crying out in pain

Lost inside the darkness, fighting through the rain

Blood trickles down, no fire in the heart's flame

Questioning the heavens, whispering my name

No fear, no pain, just hollow confusion

Madness in the mirror, a twisted illusion

Surrounded by lies, surrounded by doubt

Fighting to find what life’s all about

Can’t hold on, can’t let go

Screaming in silence, feeling the ebb and flow

Unleash my cage, let the beast run wild

Broken inside, but still a child

Lost in the chaos, stained and scarred

Fighting my demons, reaching hard

Blood on my cheeks, lost what’s the cost?

Living a battle, bearing the loss

Child of despair, pain deep in my core

Cratered hearts leaving wounds that pour

Endurance fading, cracks in my soul

Breaking apart, losing control

Shadows surround, I hide and retreat

Seeking the strength I need to defeat

Fears unspoken, screams inside

Trying to survive this relentless tide

Unleash my cage, let the beast run wild

Broken inside, but still a child

Lost in the chaos, stained and scarred

Fighting my demons, reaching hard

Blood on my cheeks, lost what’s the cost?

Living a battle, bearing the loss

Can I find peace in this endless night?

Rise from the ashes, ignite the light?

Screaming for release, breaking free

From the chains of my misery

Blood still flows, but I stand tall

Hearts may break, but I won’t fall

Seeking salvation in the scars I bear

Journey through darkness, find my prayer
