The darkness within me
It never goes away
It fills my life
Each night and day

It turns good into bad
It makes joy into pain
Tears flow down my face
Like never ending rain

Sunlight never falls
Clean winds never blow
I'm trapped in the land
Of hell from below

The darkness within me
It defines all my life
It turns all pleasure
Into nothing but strife

No shadows are here
For that you need light
None of that shines here
Look hard as you might

It's blacker then hell
Not the velvety black
The blackness of death
It is darker then black

The darkness within me
All my world it destroys
It sucks all the life
Out of all of my joys

It's nothing but pain
Joyless and dark
There never is light
Not one little spark

It fills all my thoughts
And devours my soul
Gnaws away at my ego
Like a huge evil troll

The darkness within me
Consumes me you see
It's replaced all that's here
It defines all that's me
