Alone inside myself,
Nothing left to love.
The world has gone to Hell,
As it gets harder to look above —

Yet I beg for a respite,
That I know will never come.
Life can be so cruel,
And keep you from the sun.

Regret is a river,
So long and very deep...
That keeps you up at night,
Robbing your sleep.

So dark are the currents,
That's far too strong to fight —
So you let it carry you off...
Pulling you under,
As you drown in the empty, cold, dark night.
