I am the darkness at the root of your soul
The creator of nightmares with a heart black and cold
You try to ignore me. you pretend I’m not there
But I sow the seeds of self-doubt and despair
I’m hateful and jealous, I’m cruel and unkind
The voice of unreason at the back of your mind
For I am the darkness at the root of your soul
The shadow of your goodness, one half of the whole.
