Dealing With Darkness

Dealing with darkness. Playing a dangerous game Little girl The stakes are high Careful dont fall on sharp ends The velvet will spill From your neck Dealing with darkness A dangerous game So much to lose So little to gain Fight Fight The darkness inside Like floods Like deadly waters They come so quick Enveloping her A dark mantel Suddenly draped For darkness from within Is much darker Than that which comes When candles aren't lit When sin in absence of light Thou commits Day dream nightmares Come alive When darkness is set on fire Burning black flames Burning true gains Walked straight into Our black-trap Little girl To proud to admit This dance with darkness This poker game of fate Will end In darkness With her head On a stake
