The Darkness

Sitting in the darkness
All alone without a sound
The burning in your eyes
As the tears are trickling down

Never felt so alone
So much fear left to hide
Wishing you could see who you are
Through all the others' eyes

Phony smiles and artificial laughter get you by
But what happens when the pain starts to scar?
A scar that cannot be healed or undone
A scar that will haunt you when the act dies

Sitting in the darkness
All alone without a sound
The burning in your eyes
As the tears are streaming down

As we reflect on ourselves
We look for the shining light,
not the monster from hell
But it’s the monster we come to know very well

So scared to face our feelings deep inside
It’s come now and there is no place to hide

Sitting in the darkness
All alone without a sound
Just the pain of sheer disappointment
As the tears are pouring down
