The night goes on as I'm fading away,
Into my thoughts, into my pain,
My mask falls away, my emotions revealed,
No one to see, no one to hear my sadness.
I try to stay inside myself and numb my thoughts,
But it's too much, I'm not strong enough,
I can only take on so much,
Everything's a burden, and so am I.
I leave myself, I leave everyone else,
I can't take it anymore, it's just too much,
I need some time, I need some space,
Maybe I'll return, but who knows when.
I slip away, out the window, down the street,
My eyes fill, dark and deep,
I let them go, out and down they stream,
I cry about sadness and pain, and everything I can't say aloud.
I think of sadness, I think of pain,
I think of my parents, I tihnk of my friends,
I think of pity, I think of shame,
Everything I just can't handle.
I return at dawn, no one realizes,
I am made of darkness, I am made of pain,
I have realized I am nothing,
I can come and go, I am a shadow of the night.
