I carried the dark within me I carried it for years I thought I had to kill it To silence all my fears The hollow knew my footsteps The hollow knew my name But what I called the darkness Was never quite the same I stopped running from the silence I stopped resisting it The wound remains beneath me But it no longer pulls me in There is no light above me There is no light below I only have the road ahead And now I choose to go I left my name in silence I left my shadow there The darkness walks beside me But it is no longer me
