________________________________

in the deafening silence of the night
i hear my heart weep
i hear my soul cry
i hear my mind sigh

i feel the encompassing darkness
it's almost tangible
i see no light
i feel no hope

my heart is wounded
my soul is weary
my mind is tired
my body is numb...

i'm more than lost
i'm more than hurt

in the blinding darkness
in the piercing silence
i slowly fade
and the world knows not...
