In the Darkness
In the darkness there are places
That no one's ever seen
Guarded by a wicked one
A kind of devilish fiend
He rejoices over heartaches
And revels in our cries
He causes pain I can't explain
With love as his disguise
He catches all our teardrops
And brews them into tea
He drinks it with our broken dreams
That keep him company
He mocks us when we cannot sleep
In dark and lonely places
He reminds us of the love we lost
And shows us all their faces
Wayward hope become his teeth
To chew our broken smiles
He decorates his domicile
With all our pain filled files
In the darkness there are places
You will never wanna see
Guarded by a wicked one
Known as "Misery"
