Drowning Cries For Help

A darkness engulfs the light

A familiar stranger to this land

He asks my name and smirks a bit

As he escourts me by the hand

A coldness that scares the heat

And aches right through my soul

She laughs and sneers so sinister

And demands I pay the toll

It�s fear and dread joining together

They harmonize as they play my song

It�s the music that makes you wake up in a sweat

As you find yourself dancing along

My tears only give them power

And my hatred feeds their strength

Every day that I want to give up

I swear I�ll go the length

I find myself dodging bullets

As they steal my very sanity

But what everyone refuses to see

Is that they already took my humanity

It�s self-confidence that holds your head high

And compassion that helps you love

But my heart is sad and my head hangs low

And I�m fighting to rise above

But the chilling waters of denial become colder

As they slowly surpass my head

And I finally stop trying to surface

As I wish I were already dead

Yet something urges me to fight

Maybe it�s God saying I�m strong

But there�s not light at the tunnel�s end

And I wonder what strings me along

Still I fight this endless battle

Over what? I�m not quite sure

I can�t even remember five minutes ago

Who I am or what they were

But it�s the dark, the cold, the dread and fear

They all fight to own my soul

But in the end not �one� will win

For it was my faith that they �all� stole
