Mine
This black cloud
That insists on following me
Wherever I go
I just can't seem to shake it
But it won't consume me
No matter how hard it tries
I'm not like that
It won't win
Though the blackness
Keeps enfolding me
Each time it does
I push it a little farther away
Though it won't give in
Neither will I
Who will win this game?
It's not a game, it's life
And I'm taking it back
One step at a time
And soon this black cloud
That insists on following me
And trying to make me give in
Will be sitting on the sidelines
Watching me winning
Though just one step at a time
In the end it'll be gone
And my life will be mine
