In the World of Darkness

In the world  of darkness
the walls are closing in
struggling an endless battle
she's never gonna win

In the world of darkness
is like living in a trance
reality seems so distant
to grasp it there's no chance

In the world of darkness
was more than she could cope
loneliness was overwhelming
causing her to lose all hope

it came unexpectedly
without a single warning
taking the easy way out
leaving family and friends mourning

surely she's not to blame
for she was weaken by temptation
if we'd only taken the time
to understand and communication

again the world of darkness
took another innocent being
right before our eyes
without anybody seeing

she reached out for help
in many different ways
because our failure to see
in peace now she lays.
