From the outside it looked so bright
Nobody questioned the laughter
Nobody questioned the smiles
For nobody could have known about the blighted soul
Destructive and corrosive just below the surface
The smiles faked for so long
The owner himself unsure of their purity
The darkness within
Boiled below
Manifested and intensified deep inside until it would inevitably boil up and over
The family stood by and supported the wrong cause
Cheering for an ending not wanted
This new youth, alone and independent
Turning to drugs and permanent modifications
Though nothing could stop this from growing
Going so far, pulling so many from the darkness,
It only worked to worsen it
The darkness within
Stolen from others
Harberd into thyself for the sake of those around me
A new storm has stricken earth
No 40 days of rain, but an eternity of depression
With no great Ark in place,
No man singled out by a prophet
I shall be the Ark, and the darkness of humanity's depression shall rest within me.
