It’s dark in this room, and there’s hazards you know.
There’s boxes and boulders and bodies as well.
And watch for that trapdoor; it leads straight to hell.
So what do you want? You’ll need to go soon.
You won’t want to stay for long in my room.
I need to revisit my boxes of wrongs.
So my demons inside can push in their thorns.
Chorus:
Look into my darkness, my boxes and all.
Please be my light, and don’t let me fall.
I need someone’s love to help me leave here.
Please love me, and hold me, and dry all my tears.
There’s a real heavy blanket, it’s here in this room.
It clogs up the windows and adds to the gloom.
And when the storms hit, it gets wetter than hell.
The weight and the cold and that gut-wrenching smell.
Watch out for my boxes, there’s some with no lids.
They let out their contents of memories I hid.
They crawl round this room like the reapers from hell.
They bite, and they scratch me and scar me as well.
Chorus:
Look into my darkness, my boxes and all.
Please be my light, and don’t let me fall.
I need someone’s love to help me leave here.
Please love me, and hold me, and dry all my tears.
You want me to stop all the drinking and drugs.
But can you not see that it’s you that’s the mug?
Those things are my freedom; my night pass from here.
My taxi from darkness, from horror and fear.
You ask what would help me escape from this room.
It wouldn’t be drugs or the pain or the shrooms.
My angel of light would save me from here.
but they’ve gone to another without any tears.
Chorus:
Look into my darkness, my boxes and all.
Please be my light, and don’t let me fall.
I need someone’s love to help me leave here.
Please love me, and hold me, and dry all my tears.
I can’t stay in this room for very much longer.
Those demons they keep getting stronger and stronger.
I’m fearing the worst, that my time is upon me.
See those mother f—–s have got their own taxi.
So leave me and run and don’t you look back.
And slam that door shut in case they attack.
And tell all the world I served them all true.
And thank you, I THANK YOU to those who came through.
Chorus:
Look into my darkness, my boxes and all.
Please be my light, and don’t let me fall.
I need someone’s love to help me leave here.
You loved me, you held me, now dry all your tears.

This is pretty raw, but I’d like to see this put to a tune 🤔
Anyone know of someone who may want to give it a go?
