rotten apples hang from the tree
revealing skulls in their cores
is the knowledge worth it?  i just cannot see
do i want to know the dark a bit more?
aspiring to be more than just me
is it going to be worth the result?
magnified, but left dark inside
known by a tight little cult
teachers they be.  teaching me
this dark is learned so quickly
first just a tease of death on the breeze
my mind expands, and the world looks sickly
compared to me
life in the shade i got it made
thinking outside the book
things that were read
then passed down and said
stuck in my mind like a hook
but when it came time to pay
the Lord Of The DARK barred my way
he took back his darkess, stuck to my soul
ripped it in half so that i was not whole
compared to the rest of the world
now that i've been hit
in darkness i sit
none of it does what i say
it traps me instead, it's inside my head
holding the light at bay
