In Black

I'm bleeding
it's flowing out and through
it's coming back for you
It's black and cold
it's been there so long
it's old
It's no longer hot
What I am now
is something that I'm not
It's not who I use to be
Just can't be me

Smoke all around
nothing seems real
I can't find me
I can't see
I can't touch, and I can't feel

It swims out and all around
drowning in black
breathing nothing but dark smoke
suffocating in this cloak
It's all dead
it's all gone
red will never come back

I've fallen out of me
I'm dead
the black river wishes to be red
wants to flow fresh and long
but instead
it flows dead but strong
fading completely black
all too dead

I'm lost and faded
I'm drowning
It flows all around me
suffocating me
covering me
killing me
taking me into it's fierce grip
all I can do is give up
and swallow the dakness

I'm going down
I'm going to drown
I take my last sip
I'm drinking my black blood
too bad for me
It wanted me
it swallowed me whole
It's quinched now
that it has my soul
it tastes good
I taste good in black..
