The Arrival of Darkness...
Ben Coates
I started this year with so many ambitions
I'm living my life with too many missions
I forgot about myself
I've had way too much time in my own mind
A thousand dusty memories that I'm keeping locked inside
And where does it all go when I die
If nowhere is everywhere
The darkness approaches
But I do not notice
My eyes are fixated
The wrong things in focus
Convincing myself
That I know anything
I'm not convinced yet
I had to find a way to express myself
Or else I'd go insane
If I shout into the void long enough
My shouts will come back and fix mе
So I wrote about what needs fixing
I put those words to songs
In order to conjurе up a state of peace
I haven't been able to reach in so long
