I can hear the beat of my steady heart
My mind is in ruins
My body is at war
I sleep then wake up
Then agony then black out
The world keeps on going
while I'm stuck in this moment
I'm drowning in shadows
They threaten to come near
They invite me to stay
in this peaceful nightmare
The longer I stay
The better it feels
The pain fades away whenever I'm here
Darkness holds out his hand
It's inviting, it's tempting
I take one step closer
And all the hurt starts fading
The more I'm swallowed by shadows
The more my agony melts away
I reach out my hand
But then a light shines from where I came
Warmth coursed throughout my soul
I felt alive
I felt more sure
I faced the brightness
Turned my back from death
Leaned just a little bit closer
And suffering came back as a threat
I was frightened, exhausted
I know what awaits me in the light
Troubles and pain
Fire searing inside
A mask over my face
And tubes attached to supply life
But it all hurts so much
And I just want to die
I've fought and I've battled
I've fought my whole life
I've fought to stay in this earth
Ever since I was five
I stayed as strong as I could
Even as I grew weak
But my light started to fade
And it's now too much for me to take
Now life and death are on each side
Struggling to take me
Making me decide
Dark, sorrowful death offering me peace
Beautiful life bringing me misery and hope in one piece
