I See The Dark

I saw the tears of a child today
I saw the rain poring down
I felt the pain of hope slip away
I felt sorrow abound

I knew the emptiness that life brings
I heard the call of loneliness
I've wanted to live a full life
And found instead hopelessness

I build the walls to hide behind
To shut in all the pain
To hide it from their prying eyes
To let the whispers drive me insane

I wonder why life takes this path
Why it needs to rend me so
I wonder why I should care
I wonder if this is how I grow

What does not kill me, makes me strong
Or so the words do say
What does not kill me, will try again
And live to kill another day

I am so tired of fighting
This battle that I can not win
Just let me lay here in death
Just let me lay here til the end
