Streetlights die behind my back. I don’t miss where they all lead. The dark’s the only place I’ve known That never wanted me to bleed. 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! THIS IS MY KINGDOM! LET IT STAND! I BUILT MY HOME… WITHOUT YOUR HAND!!! You chase crowds to hide your heartbeat. Mine echoes in the night. You hear emptiness. I hear freedom. You fear the silence. I became it. I quit searching years ago… That’s when I found life. Maybe… I was never meant to belong. Maybe… I spent years chasing A place… That never existed. The funny thing is… 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! 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!!!
