A pair of dark eyes
Follows me down
Watches me critically
As I begin to drown
But through the darkness
There is a light
And through the darkness
I begin to fight
The apathy, trying to pull me in
For a few moments,
The darkness seems to win
But a clear voice
Cuts through all the rest
Telling me I have a choice
To be better, to be best
To lie awake and unafraid
Next to a body of a boy
To stand up and walk away
And stop being just a toy
