The Darkness Around Me

The black darkness wraps around me
Letting my mind flow into it, being set free

I turn my music up, so I can't hear the silence
I let my mind flow with the music; Let it form an alliance

I stare up at the cieling, into the deep darkness that seems as if it never ends
I sigh and smile, and over my eyes, my eyelids begin to decend

My heart beats slowly, aligning itself with the beat of the song
I guess as I kid I couldn't realize; Darkness is beautiful all along

I lay motionless, opening my eyes to stare into the nothingness that surrounds me;
I think; "Darkness is the place the mind is meant to be."

My eyes begin to adjust, and I can barely make out my room's details
This is when I think it's the end of a sad tale

I turn on the light
Let my eyes love the bright
I turn it off again;
Don't get used to the night

It's all darkness again
That familiar charcoal that never ends

I let the darkness wrap it's arms around me
And slowly set my mind into sleep

So many wonders, so many thoughts, filling my head
No matter how restless, I'm motionless in this bed

The darkness holds me tight, almost bringing a comfort
I don't want to fall asleep, I don't want to shut my eyes, don't want to shut those doors

I remember, remember, remeber.. When I was so small, not even seven years old
I thought the darkness was scary, threatening, harmful and bold

But now, though I can't see my hand infront of my face, I see
The darkness is where the mind is meant to be
