Streetlights die behind my back I don’t miss where they all lead The dark’s the only place I’ve known That never asked a thing of me Every smile concealed a motive Every handshake hid a blade Everybody wanted pieces… Nobody ever stayed You see isolation… I see what set me free YOU SEE DARKNESS! I SEE PEACE! EVERYBODY WANTS SOMETHING FROM ME! NOBODY EVER WANTED ME! You chase crowds to hide your heartbeat Mine echoes in the night You fear the silence I became it I quit searching years ago… Maybe… I was never meant to belong Maybe… I spent years chasing A place… that never existed The moment I stopped searching… The dark… Never asked me to change YOU SEE DARKNESS! I SEE HOME! EVERYBODY WANTS SOMETHING FROM ME! NOBODY EVER WANTED ME! I DON’T NEED SAVING! I DON’T NEED SYMPATHY! THE DARK NEVER ASKED ME TO CHANGE… THE DARK NEVER TOOK A FUCKING THING FROM ME! I STOPPED WAITING… STOPPED FUCKING SEARCHING… STOPPED LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN… FOR PEOPLE WHO ONLY CAME… TO TAKE. SO I CLOSED IT. LOCKED IT. AND BUILT SOMETHING… YOU’LL NEVER GET INSIDE! YOU SEE DARKNESS! I SEE HOME! EVERYBODY WANTS SOMETHING FROM ME! NOBODY EVER WANTED ME! THIS ISN’T LONELY! THIS IS FREEDOM! I FOUND MY PEACE… THIS IS MY FORTRESS! I BUILT IT… WITH MY OWN FUCKING HANDS!!! You see darkness… I see… HOME!!!
