I wrote this when I was in a very dark place
I live in a world that is dark and deep
A place where only nightmares sleep
I live in a world of my own making
A place that’s frightening and leaves me shaking
I don’t know how I got in this place
I could no longer fake the smile on my face
I work hard to keep my head out of the pool
But then I sink down far when the world seems cruel
I used to be strong and was willing to fight
But now there is nothing to keep me from flight
I lost you, my pride and joy
I lost the love of my little boy
I live in a world where darkness creeps
A place where only nightmares sleep
There was a time that I wanted to strive
Now I have no reason to be here alive
I think of your life and how better it would be
If I just went to sleep and let you be free
People say im crazy and maybe that’s true
But I just cant live in a world where I cant have you
I follow the path of everyday life
Hoping no one will notice the cuts from my knife
The scars are hidden to hide my shame
I accept my sentence I accept the blame
I’ve hurt you deeply and now its too late
I’ll pay the price and accept my fate
I lost you, my pride and joy
I lost the love of my little boy
I live in world where that’s dark and deep
A place where even a nightmare is afraid to sleep
