Endless Slumber

I'm falling
just falling

deeper into darkness
the evil a blissfully sweet caress

"welcome back my dear
you're home, there's no need to fear

just rest your head
be with us instead"

I nod my head tiredly
my eyes closing drowsily

the hair is gently swept from my face
I'm enveloped in a dark embrace

I gradually forget the light
kissing my happiness goodnight

everytime I wake, it hurts
like I've slept on hardened dirt

"just rest and the pain will dissapear
our sweet darling, our little dear"

A flicker of a memory comes to mind
something is wrong, it's not all fine

a smile, a ray of sunlight
fighting it's way through the night

why does it feel so good?
maybe I'll leave like I should

"you're not going anywhere
not in that state, with that vacant stare

They've hurt you so much
you've taken it all, punch after punch

you don't deserve that my dear
come now, don't shed another tear"

I nod, losing more energy
not realizing I've chosen the enemy

and so I lay, tired and broken
unheard and outspoken

weakened and asleep
I cannot wake, it's just too deep

until I am somehow saved
my soul is trapped, body enslaved

by the darkness, so decieving
That I forever fall for, always believing

maybe I like it that way?
after all, what's there to lose if I stay?
