I am sorrow
I am sorrow
I hide among the hidden
My lure is dark and sweet
I take from life what's given
I know the place you go
I hold your hand you know?
I'm there inside your soul
I am old as all tales told
I am neither weak nor bold
I am sorrow, misery's hopeless hold
I am not your enemy
I am not your friend
I am but the fracture in the wall
That you must face and mend.
