Taken Over

My soul is searching for the light,
all I need is to see you tonight.
I've been holding on,
but I'm letting go, 
as these inner demons take control.

I've lost the battle, one by one.
Staring at the sky, reaching towards the sun.
They've taken over, and I can't fight back.
Tonight's the night, I'll never return back.
