Sweet Promise

If you see the dark
You know what the light looks like
If you feel pain
You don’t need the world to save you from yourself

Just rise and walk away
There is no more reason to stay
This is not your way

Feeling lost and abused
Falling deeper into the void
I’ve almost lost myself
The true me, what I really am

There is no more reason to stay
No more reason to stand this shit
Now I see this was never my way
This isn’t what I really need

Resonating with the darkness
I know how to feel
Like echoes of inner monster
I crawl to see what’s lost within
Deeper than all the sins

Show me your soul
Shh, dear, don’t go
You’ll feel this bliss
This is my sweetest promise

Give me your soul
I will be kind, you know
Hush, darling, it’s just one kiss
The sweetest and deadly promise

Darkness is kind, but deep
If you lost yourself in it
Once you take a step
There is no way back
