Black

Just let the music
Flow through your mind
Beginning to care less and less
About what they say
Turn off the light
Turn on your imagination
Shut out the screams
Run into the night
Their laughter fades
As you get deeper
The crying stops
As you lesson the pain
Picture your victory
Picture their defeat
Bring on the black blanket
To cover your thoughts
Kill the whisper
That maddening within
Your deep dark secret
No longer to fear
Just let the music
Flow through your soul
Take over what's left
Leaving nothing but joy
