Dark Hole

Where is my light?, I can’t see
its dark everywhere, feels like the world is closing on me.
Im lost in this dark hole, so hard to set free
where is the exit, Where could it be?

I heard of this thing called happiness, but I can’t find it anywhere
can someone help me look for it? is someone even there?

No, there isn’t, im all alone
trying to survive this all on my own

Im sinking like sinking sand, deeper and deeper down
it’s getting faster; getting stronger, what do I do now?!

Im so blind and lost, so confused and terrified
people said I would get past this, but looks like they had lied

This is way too hard and its way too tough
now im sick and tired and I’ve had enough

There’s no other way out, I think its time to go
iv tried way too hard and now iv sunken to low..
