In My Mind's Eye

In my mind's eye
There is a darkness
A black hole of emptiness
It weaves its way through my thoughts
Possessing my very soul
How do I escape it
Before the madness takes over
I try to hide but it finds me
There is no release
I'm caught in its web
The poison consumes me
Why won't it let go

Drifting aimlessly at sea
The waters pull me under
I attempt to stay afloat
But it is futile to struggle
For in my mind's eye
The darkness spreads like a cancer
Lost in a maze
As I try to hold on
The life preserver is slipping
The illusion takes over
As insanity creeps in
There is no hope for me now
