Here I sit in my dark, empty mind

The colorless land in which I reside

I fight and fight to leave my demons behind



A desperate attempt to open the blind

But the light is not on my side

Here I sit in my dark, empty mind



Looking for relief that I can not find

From myself I try to hide

I run and run to leave my demons behind



In the dark are creatures of another kind

The void, haunted with those who have died

Here I hide in my dark, empty mind



For relief I have desperately pined

Relentlessly for help I have cried

I've tried and tried to leave my demons behind



Again in my thoughts I am confined

Hoping and waiting for the pain to subside

Here I am trapped in my dark, empty mind

And I have failed to leave my demons behind
