*Once

Why does this room look so big ?
Is it cause I'm in a corner and the light is too meek ?

Why do I feel cold ,as if a sudden gloom engulfs me ?
Are these the taunts of lights or those who can see ?

Why do I keep closing in to contract ,
Curling farther and farther from the lights' show
Is it cause I feel light as my foe ?

Why does this dark feel so familiar ?
Like it's got an empty throne and I am the heir...

Should I take the hand that is for me outstretched?
It lacks visibility and I know it's completely drenched

Is it kerosene or am I in a dream ?
Is the hand there to avenge me or burn me to flashes

How about I take the chance ?
I was not surviving either way I
glance ..

It'll either spare me or we'd end up in clashes
Let's play the game once
Even if we end in ashes
