6 FEET UNDER

6 feet under
locked the door
can't find the key
do i want to anymore?

locked away
without my worries
darkness crept in
like black snow flurries

darker than
the darkest night
with nothing at all
to provide some light

no fears, no cares
no ups, no downs
no feelings, no emotions
no smiles, no frowns

no more tomorrows
only yesterdays
dwelling on the past
is an endless maze

there are no exits
there is no door
but dwelling on the past
is the only thing i adore

back when i was happy
without a doubt at all
i had so many friends
i has such a ball

but then it all ended
as do all good things
as do all good people
as do all good flings

suddenly, i changed;
darkness took me in
treated me nicely
as if i were kin

little by little
i lost all my friends
i lost all who i loved
never to make amends

it never promised anything
like you did for me
you promised love
i now have misery

darkness and i were one
i and darkness were the same
but do not think at all
that you were to blame

i chose this path
me, myself, and i
every day now
oh, how i long to die

wouldn't be so bad
if darkness would have stayed
but, like everything else
darkness went away

now i am left empty
with a pale shade of white
with no one who cares
only left with the night

but the night is not darkness
it will never be
for it has the moon and stars
which leaves nothing for me

darkness found a new pal
and you made a new friend
so i am all alone
wishing for an end

6 feet under
locked the door
can't find the key
never want to anymore.
