Essence

This world has taught me well.
I don't know where I lost myself.
Everyday I create this hell,
Sinking deeper into a love of self.

Essence, my essence,
Would you breathe life into me.
Essence, my essence,
Your breath means life to me.

I looked into the fading sun
And got lost within the night.
The shadows have overcome
And I've lost the will to fight.
