Today I wish I could fade away,
Deep into the shadows I long to stray.
The dark hangs close around my soul
My happy light it has stole.
Today I wish I could just flee
Away from this dark that swallows me.
I wish that this black would depart,
But it lies heavy on my heart.
Today I wish I could surrender,
Give into the bleakest splendour.
But today I will stay and keep the fight
And hope again there will be some light.
