The darkness welcomes me into its arms
It whispers and tells me that I'm safe from harm
And even though I know the dark tells it's lies
I believe for a moment too long I'll be alright
Too willingly, I fall right into its embrace
And I find out too late that I've made a mistake
The darkness swallows me, consuming me completely
And I tumble into the abyss, I can no longer breathe
And every night, the dark comes back to welcome me
Right back into its arms, and I'm too weak to see
That the darkness isn't my friend, it'll torture and hurt me
But every night I welcome it a bit more eagerly
Perhaps a part of me finds comfort in the dark
Not in the pain it brings, but the familiarity it sparks
I run right back into the depression, because I'm afraid of change
And even though it hurts, I know the unfamiliar can bring new pain
