The Dark - original song

10 1 2
                                    

Why can't I breathe?
Why am I sinking?
Am I being forgotten,
or am I just forgetting?
I don't have the strength,
I can't put up this fight.
So much of me,
just wants to give up this night.

I can't talk to the one I love,
I can't talk to friends.
If I lose all my strength,
then could this be the end?

There's a feeling of emptiness,
a sound of just wind.
I feel like screaming,
but it'll be drowned out by the dark.
My heartbeat isn't there anymore,
its just fading to grey.
I just wanna be set free,
just so the dark can't touch me.

I feel cold,
I feel empty.
Why can't I just feel happy?
Why do I only feel sad?
I feel smothered,
I feel claustrophobic.
My breathing is hitching,
and the panic kicks up with every movement.

I want to give up,
I want to give in.
I'm losing all my strength,
I know that this is the end.

There's a feeling of emptiness,
a sound of just wind.
I feel like screaming,
but it'll be drowned out by the dark.
My heartbeat isn't there anymore,
its just fading to grey.
I just wanna be set free,
just so the dark can't touch me.

I'm sorry that it ends this way,
I can't lie to myself anymore.
My mind just can't handle this,
I've been through this before.

Relate to me,
set me free.
please just help me out,
I don't want this to be the end.

There's a feeling of emptiness,
a sound of just wind.
I feel like screaming,
but it'll be drowned out by the dark.
My heartbeat isn't there anymore,
its just fading to grey.
I just wanna be set free,
just so the dark can't touch me.

The darkness is swallowing me,
I guess I lost.
There's only one thing left to say,
I'm sorry that this is the end.

(goodbye)
