I'm trapped in my world

The darkness assuring

That I'll always be in its hold...

And somehow that seems comforting
Living like I don't have a care

Takes its toll on those around me

But who am I to stop myself
I'm only here to take up space

Use up oxygen and then fade away

Like I was never there at all
The darkness assuring

I'll always be in its hold...

Yet that seems comforting
And life goes on

While I fade away
Darkness closing,

Grabbing, laughing...

And somehow I feel safe
Somehow I know...

I feel - I'm home...

I'm happy - and I'm gone
