Fade to Black...

In the darkness of my own shadow
I can't see where I'm going
My past follows me like a predator
Even when I try to push it away
My breath is caught in my throat
Terror stifles my screams
It's dark, dark in here
My own fears haunting my dreams

The fears come back, all of a sudden
The cold outside diffuses into the cold inside
I can feel the blood gushing through my veins, now
My heart isn't beating, it's shaking as it cries

I try to reassure myself
Tell myself the light isn't far away
I have to keep going, make it to the end
Try to live,
Even as I die everyday
But the fog of doubt doesn't clear away
What if there is no light?
For ever I'll be trapped in this empty cave
Feeling choked inside

In the darkness of my own shadow
I feel my fingers upon the knife
I don't really wanna do this,
Don't wanna run away from life
But nobody will ever understand
The pain that I carry with me
And so I tear the knife through my heart
And put an end to this tragedy
