Dark Cloud

I won't let this take me down the dark road
I can't let this happen to me
Sinking further into the dark
I feel lower than I ever have

I won't let this take me alive
My heart will stand, and you don't know what it takes to believe
I won't fall to the undertow

My heart was built to stand, and I will conquer my own mind
Another second in this head is another second I've given to this disease

I won't let this take me alive
My heart will stand, and you don't know what it takes to believe
I won't fall to the undertow

I won't fall
I won't fall to the undertow

The battle between my mind and my heart has been raging since I was in my youth
Constantly I've been contorted and racked with pain and fear
I'm too scared to sleep
I'm too scared to wake
But I press on day after day
Pushing my self beyond the point of return or so it's always seemed
That I can never win this that I've been dealing with
My face as plain as the paint that coats the walls where I lock myself away to keep from feeling
No happiness
No sadness
Just emptiness
Something isn't right
But it has to give way because this is my life
And I won't let this perpetuated mindset hold me down any longer
I am whole
I am free
I am no longer a victim
