Many people have said that they found themselves in the darkness
I always thought that meant they didn't have a heart
Man those people were crazy
They said it started out as something so simple
Sitting in the dark one day turned into sitting in the dark everyday
They told me from the start
I would fill their shoes after they left their mark
What mark?
They meant the mark of death
They are gone now and I am here
I now fill the shoes they once walked in
But how was it possible that I now filled their shoes
For what they called finding themselves
I now call losing oneself
Now I stand in the very position they stood
They choose a path of hurt and pain
They claimed that I would do the same
Now I am at the same crossway
But the path I have chosen is so much more, so much greater
I guess those people were right when they said that the darkness can help you finds yourself
Darkness really does hold some truth to it after all
