The Dark Side (Trigger warning: Suicidal thoughts)

There is a place where only shadows lie

Whispering to themselves, slow and sly

Conjuring up fears we never thought might

Keep us up every single night.

This is where our sorrows reside

Scratching the walls of our empty minds

Screaming hoarsely until their throats run dry

Begging to be released, out into the sky

I can still hear them screaming

Telling me they can’t breathe

Let me out! They’re pleading

I want to be free

I cradle them in my heart

Shushing them inside

You’re not going anywhere I say

You’re the reason I’m dying

I don’t want to live anymore

I don’t want to breathe this air anymore

Every cell in my body rebels with hurt

I’ve never been so unsure

Is it easier to stay or is it easier to go?

I don’t wanna know...

Cause I know that I’m never ever going to change,

And you know that you’re always gonna stay the same.
