Before the stars in the sky ever entered existence
Before suns became black holes
That region of space that imprisons persistence
There was Our World and the Upside Down
The dark, empty realm of opposite where
The clocks stopped working
The atoms started dying
The dementors started lurking
The pink sand in the hourglass stopped falling
So i started breathing in the light
Running from the Upside Down
I grabbed and held onto some limelight
During the black descent of the sun
I would fall in love with the moonlight
I had to pause that flame
The spark fluorescence of brightness
Because i realized that
I'm just overdosing on light
My fear of the Upside Down
Took control
And i couldn't stop myself
I knew it was wrong
And for the longest time
I stepped once again
Into those cold, freezing flames
But all i did was cry
When i saw
That wrist and razors created a new hell
That these scars became a way of life
I cried because
While i drowned in that void of nothingness
However i noticed something outputting
There was another searching for happiness
This was the first time
I took in that light
My first high
Now I'm frightened
From ever getting near the valley of shadows
