Plague of Despair

The tired rain is choking me
Bringing dark clouds upon my sanity
A chill that breaks my bones and steals my soul
Where is the smallest of light to penetrate me
To lift this gloom

Electricity like a lightning bolt  
Tearing through my brain
Shocking me and shocking me 
I feel I could be reaching insanity

Dark shadows following me, mocking me
Everywhere I turn 
Do they want me in an early grave
To torment me more for all eternity

The irrational mistrusting voice codes I hear
Disturbs the chance of peace of mind
Believing all the things it tells me
Becoming my one and true reality
