Darknees all around us

Author: RICHARD HENDRICKS.

You built these walls around you
 To try to encage yourself
 Turning your back on the world
 Forever refusing all help
 
Your fears they surrounded you
 Devoured all your soul
 Left you broken into pieces
 Impossible to be made whole
 
Your tears they became rivers
 Until they drowned your body
 And you just let yourself lie
 Dying in your own folly
 
The depression it destroyed you
 Left you empty and closed off
 Until all memories of us
 You simply forgot
 
Every night I came to your prison
 Trying to get you free
 Trying to reach you
 But you no longer saw me
 
You closed your mind and body
 Let your heart just freeze
 Watched me outside the bars
 Begging you not to please
 
I constantly tried and failed
 Your empty eyes they watched
 It broke my heart to see you
 I prayed for it to stop
 
So I come tonight once again
 But not to set you free
 I come to say goodbye
 But you can’t even hear me
 
I cry as I watch you
 But I have to turn away
 Long gone are the days
 In your arms I would stay
 
When I leave you I’m empty
 Completely closed myself off
 All the pain and memories
 Like you I’ve forgot
 
I create walls around me
 To keep everything away
 I make my heart go cold
 So I no longer feel the old way
 
I become what you are
 What I once did fear
 No emotion escapes me
 Not even a single tear
 
I don’t think I’ll ever understand
 Just what happened to us
 How did two so happy and free
 become closed off and unloved?

Now these bars surround us
 Behind them we die
 They keep in our dark secrets
 We recoil inside
 
They lock all our emotions
 Then throw away the key
 The world outside aches for us
 But the bars don’t let us see
 
We build them to get away
 Thinking there we will rest
 But these bars slowly kill us
 They’re just cages for the depressed
 
We’ll rot in these cells we’ve made
 We’ll tie up ourselves in chains
 Becauce the reason we’re behind these bars
 Is because inside we’ve gone insane
