In the Darkness

Alone in the darkness I await my fate Surrounded by nothing less than hate Thinking of the path I chose Could I draw life to a close Alone in the darkness my mind goes blank For this gift I wonder who to thank One little friend got it's point across And because of that, all is lost Alone in the darkness, flashes of my life The pills, ropes and blood on the knife I have lost it many times before Tonight is the night I settle the score Alone in the darkness, all happiness is gone A fading heartbeat, my favorite song Ears still burning and ringing At least nobody is screaming Alone in the darkness missing my mother's smile I wish she were here to comfort me awhile Even just to hit me for what I've done I've taken away her only son Alone in the darkness with a shallow breath Not nearly enough to laugh at Death Waiting without anyone by my side Wishing tonight I would have just cried Alone in the darkness and feeling so cold Wondering if I was timid or if I was bold How could life get so bad where this has to be Maybe it's because nobody believed in me Alone in the darkness my eyes finally close This short path is the one I chose
