Despair

March 2011 I’m the cries of the hopeless in the night I’m the darkness in every man’s soul I’m the reason that you give up the fight And surrender all your control I’m despair I kill from the inside out Despair Fill you with nothing but doubt I’m despair Welcome me in I’m the sponge sucking up your happiness I’m the one that takes all of your joy I leave behind me only emptiness And make you my whipping boy I’m despair I kill from the inside out Despair Fill you with nothing but doubt I’m despair Thanks for letting me in Welcome to my hell
