I walk into the darkness of lost
and dying stars I walk into
the pain of bleeding hearts
and lungs I run into this darkness
the darkness in myselfin myself
I can't stop thesethoughts that smother
like a hot summers day these thoughts
that scream like those beyond life
where they feel cheated onthis soul
this soul that brushes and dances
with leaves and knives the soul
that cries and laughs and screams and
loves a soul that shouldn't be here
the unlimited darkness still whispering
for life quiets at this life that magnifies
light and resists

Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
