In The Dark

Written & Performed by Dani Skye

Today was not a good day...

My thoughts were deep...

Buried in tears, suffocating sadness with seasons changing...

Springtime brings upon woons not fully healed...

My heartbeats slowly weakens, zombie-like feeling...

Hopeless romantic never finding true love...

No strength to self-love whole-heartedly...

Can't allow no one near this heart of mine, its way too fragile to put into someone else's care...

Picked over and apart quite often...

Feeling like I'm in a maze, never getting out...

Can't see past my beauty, can't see past my flaws...

Is my soul hallow and cold?

Where's the warmth of a gentle embrace?

I'm falling backwards in the dark...

Nobody to hold my hand through it all...

Who's gonna catch me? I just wanna be loved...

Kiss all my scars until they fade away...

Hold me until my cracks are no longer visible...

I'm scared of the unknown...

Happiness seems intangible to me...

Sitting here in the dark, praying for the light to come...
