Death Running

Woke up to one those strange days, my mind in deranged haze. I keep flipping through the book but can't find the main page. I'm slipping in and out of consciousness with my eyes wide open Can't make sense out of any of the words being spoken A labyrinth of corridors, my mind switching back and forth Blacked out vision, stumbling searching for an open door But all I can see is blackness and death coming from behind The clock keeps ticking but I've lost all concept of time Lost in the darkness trying to find the smallest sliver of light An ounce of hope in my conscious to Continue this fight Weak from malnourishment, I haven't eaten in days Been to busy in this madness I've been trying to escape It seems no matter how loud I yell no one else can hear Either that or no one cares so they turning their ear The problem with being strong is no one asks about you That man can handle anything, I know he'll be cool But this time it's too much, and I'm needing someone there Hold me and let me cry, let me know that you care Instead I'm running out of breath chasing after the dark And scared to think about what comes after this part.
