I’m In The Dark

Suzanne Mondoux · 29 March 2020

What’s this life I’ve made for myself with no wind in my sail Drifting away on my own in the dark, where there’s no sunrise I’m in the dark with my soul and my fading dreams Where do I belong in this vast sea of life so deep with no light

Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm How can I go on in the dark corner of my soul Will I ever find myself again when I can’t even hear my own voice Someone or something is calling out to me but I can’t make it out

The dark waves are rising around me, encroaching on the only glimmer of light I’m in the dark with no hope in sight of getting out of this life I’ve made for myself Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Whao, I’m in the darkest place of my soul I’m in the dark and I cry out for help in a place where no sound is heard

I watch for the tide recede but I fear it will take me with it, deep and far away from home Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Hmm, I’m in the darkest of all darkest places my own heart How can this be, how did I let it be this way Will I ever find me again, oh dear what have I done to my soul that shown so bright

Hmm, Hmm, I’m in the dark I went to this deep dark place knowing where I was going The waves rise, higher and higher, horizon out of sight The darkest creature inside me rises from the sea, so deep inside me It frightens me

I’m in the dark with the creature I gave birth to My mind divides into so many phantoms to make sense of all this Whose the real me in this darkest place of my soul Can I wake from this darkness

Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa I’m in the dark, I brought me here
