Hello darkness my old friend
I see you've come to visit me again
The clouds are heavy an make me weak
Time is right my pity you seek

Twist an bend as you can
Distort it till its out of hand
No clemency for my guard is down
Thriving on my unfurled frown

Crippling me of desire
Quenching any inner fire
Robbing me of my strength an will
For you to cast down sadness hill

Control you have an i'm at your whim
To disregard my body is my sin
But too late i'm half way there
Why stop now who would care

The scars of life fester through
Creating boils of poison on memories due
A mans man in the dealings of life
But hidden inside so much strife

Out of the bottle i must climb
An all the drugs leave behind
Once again start my journey anew
That well worn path for all to view

Open up to who you must
Learn to love learn to trust
Relinquish all of toxic past
To savour lifes beauty at last
