Into the Night

When did they come and where did they go
 My thoughts, pure and white like snow
 Here come the long and dark night of my soul
 And now I'm all alone
 There's a deep dark hole now where my love once used to be
 She set me free
 This is the long and dark night of my soul
 Yes, now I'm all alone
 So I've erased myself, replaced my mind, it's a clean slate
 All I've felt and everyone I've ever known is gone
 I feel a need to leave, just run straight into nowhere
 There's nothing left in this town but self loathing
 You think you know, think you can see who I am?
 Don't colour my sleeves with your narrow mind
 I'm more than my hair or the clothes that I wear
 I feel the need for a new way of thinking
 So I surrender myself to me
 When did they come...
 Lost in this approaching night
 Traces of summer, still warm and breezy
 As the sun sets over the forest
 The woods are dark, cold and damp
 I'm alone in here, and though I can't feel the presence of man
 I feel something staring
 I don't think the animals will harm me
 But I know they know I'm here
 To them I am the predator
 It's man they've learned to fear
 Suddenly a gun shot, then another
 Someone is aiming at me
 I throw myself behind a big old pine
 My heart is beating like crazy
 I can sense The Hunter, he's behind me
 I'm a deer in his eyes
 I start to run and hear him fire once more
 Maybe I'm too far away...
