Description My life is dark and damp.
And it's been ripping me at the seams,
So I'll search this abyss for a lamp.

The stress of this life leaves its stamp.
In searching for an answer, it seems
My life is dark and damp.

Deep in the belly of depression I've set camp.
I long for the light, for its embracing beams,
So I'll search this abyss for a lamp.

On this hope I will hold! On it I'll clamp.
I need happiness back in my dreams.
My life is dark and damp.

Swimming with these muscles that cramp,
No illumination but addicted to thoughts of its gleams.
So I'll search this abyss for a lamp.

Finished I am, this despair I will decamp.
My spirit is only aphotic, which means
My life is dark and damp,
So I'll search this abyss for a lamp.
