It’s dark in here; it’s dark living in a shadow.
Expectations pour down on me like acid rain,
eating away at my flesh and my brain.
In my chest flows a torrential flood, my eyes are the dams.
It’s lonely in here; it’s lonely living in a shadow.
They took a ruler to measure my worth,
bought a calculator to count my achievements
and decided that I deserved only a shadow.
It’s scary in here; it’s scary living in a shadow.
Fear towers over me. He strikes me on the head,
laughing because Hope has abandoned me.
Now for all eternity I’ll be sitting on the steps of this
quiet Hell, until I fade away,
and become one with the shadow.
