There was darkness
It was twisting deep within
It latched it self
Onto my soul
I never thought I'd let it go
I was alone
I fought the poison far inside
With every step I'd take it'd take two more
And every night
My eyes stayed on the door

I couldn't tell
If I was winning
I didn't know if this was hell
But I struggled 'til the dawn
Like Jacob wrestled with his god
I wouldn't quit until it left me
Until the cold
Inside me thawed

And don't I wonder
If I had given up too soon
What of her
Would the blackness be my tomb

I couldn't tell
If I was running
I didn't know if this was hell
I couldn't tell
If I was running
I didn't know if this was hell
But I struggled 'til the daybreak
Like Jacob wrestled with his god
I wouldn't quit until it left me
Until the cold
Inside me thawed
