The Dark Deep

I cannot claim any right

Nothing I can say

Will give me sight

So I lay in bed

Unable to stay upright

Because of the truth I will betray

Any and every good trait

I possess, because we lay

Beside each other every night

Only in separate beds

And the distance

Makes me wanna tear

My mind from my head

I just need someone

Cradle me from the well

I've fallen into the depths

I wasn't careful enough

I'm on my knees

Give me some sympathy, please

Because

The dark deep clings to me

It sings and transports me

To my own personal hell

My tears swell

Cascading in slippery drops

I wish my heart would stop

It has moved against the life

In my veins

Creeping in mystery

Hiding from the dark deep

A pain so sweet

A pleasure so sour

A demon that devours

I've got to find a cage

To capture what I've lost

Or else I'll be unmade

And the dark deep

Will forever claim me
