    The Love in your heart, puts a spring in your stride,
    takes you over the moon, on a carpet ride.

    x growing pain x

    She focus's on the main reason causing her pain...
    look at it long enough it will drive you insane.

    One day ends, tomorow will un-fold just in the repetitive way
    starting as a dark hole, expanding as she falls deeper by the day.

    she's hasn't quite hit the ground yet...but it seems shes getting near
    all the good things around her gradually disappear.

    The darkness over takes, oblivion she is in...
    nobody can hear her, but they see and just grin.

    Overcome with fear, the pain continues to grow...
    is this just her mind playing tricks, or the spreading wings of a black crow?

    She's engulfed in total blackness...the clock strikes midnight,
    she cant watch it expand anymore...she shuts her eyes tight.
