Darkened Souls: First Collection

Darkness Won But I'm Not Done

I know I can’t change the past

I know there’s nothing I can do

I’m sorry I caused you so much pain

You didn’t deserve all the shit I put you through

I never should have made you the pawn of my sick little game.

You have become victim to an unbroken cycle

The cycle envelopes the victims it takes

Their hearts their souls their lives begin to break

Their eyes are blind their bodies do not react to a quick shake

The cycle relishes in the pain of the living dead which it creates.

I had the chance to break it to end this endless repetition

But I backed down and became a pawn in this game

I let something control my heart my soul my life

I gave it power by the bloody expression of my pain

I have created a deeper hole for your path by using this knife

I lost my will I lost my friends I lost my love

Everything I felt before has now been destroyed

It seems as though you follow this terrible road

I was a pawn in the game I was the decoy

Turn around now before you let your pain show

I tried to keep you away, I tried to steer you right

But with every motion I made to help you

It all seemed to make your condition worse

You stop with this but you find something else to do

But honey all this will do is bump up your chances of being laid in a hearse

Run, run, run far away from me from thins place

Take my word don’t back to help me

Run away save your soul please just go

That’s it just run; it hurts you I can see

But you have to run you can’t stop you have to know

Break the cycle stop this madness live on to tell your story

Put that thing down don’t touch that light don’t touch that blade

Don’t let your life go down the drain

Take control, make it seem like you never saw my pain

Make your life something you’ll be proud you made

You look back and help me back to my feet

But honey, what did I tell you

You had to run and leave me behind

It is what you should still do

Can’t you see that I won’t make it through to the light?

You put down your blade but then you picked up that light

You told me I was the source of all your pain

So I left, planning on never returning but was caught that night

Just to keep you out of this dreadful game

That is what I tried to do, for you have every right.

I told you I had stopped; there would be no more blood

But then I hid away and covered my arms

You caught me in the dark and uncovered my lie

I only meant to keep you from harm

I never meant for you to be in so much pain you’d wish to die

I only wanted to give you the best of every second

I wanted to make everything better

I wanted to make it seem like life wasn’t so bad

I tried to make everything better

I tried to give the happy and take the sad

I tried, I failed

Darkness won,

Darkness prevailed,

But honey I’m not done,

I won’t give up.

You’ll feel whole again

You won’t always be stuck.

I can’t say for sure when

But I will free you from these chains

And then you can take back your own reins

When the darkness hides the light

I’ll always be there to continue the fight

I won’t give up not even in the night

I’ll stay by you, baby that’s right

I’ll hold you close, I’ll hold you tight.
