When The Darkness Takes Over (Translated From Spanish)

When the darkness takes over 
it's like an adrenaline rush 
you feel powerful
you feel invincible
and you believe that you're in control
when really you're being controlled
by your pride
your ego
your fears 
and your anger
all of them are consuming you
like a parasite feeds on its host
When the darkness takes over
the parts of you that are good disappear 
if you let them 
but you can not let them disappear 
the good keeps you from losing yourself 
and becoming unrecognizable
from there you'll begin to enjoy the feeling
but it will be very short
because like any addiction 
there are highs and lows
don't let the darkness consume you completely
you don't want to be just 
another victim that couldn't swim
