Darkness, My Ole' Friend

Hello, Darkness, My Ole' Friend, I've come to talk with you, again My loneliness comes to set in Why am I sitting here, chatting with sin? What the hell did I do, to earn such my life, That I have tried living true I only seek to live peacefully So, I need to figure this out, Indeed! Why do I keep coming back defined? My darkness takes me places That I'm unwilling to unhide The multiple times I'd catch myself Openly conversating with me, I'd shelf. Darkness: Telling me I'm crazy Should I be? What the hell is happening, From deeper within me Into the depths of my soul I must go Should it be a story foretold It has never been so deep and deeply tolled. I never asked to be born here into this world, This is a catch twenty-two Being born into this sin. Who wants to be born into a place, Where the Lies, Greed, Lust Have no Grace. Sex can be bought on every street corner, Along with its diseases, it carries Scorned, without a lover! You are all too comfortable for me, I know the place I'm unwilling to be. Here you go, Darkness, My Ole' Friend, With a bunch of Angry Smiles in its sins I have been baiting you all the while I will not walk with you one more mile!
