Fade To Black
So now you sit here in down time
Hide yourself man
build the wall higher
as if you can
Shallow people
with plastic smiles
deter your path
they shine bright
in past reflections
Could it be any harder man?
C'mon, make it through
another night
Yesterday cannot stay...forever
Hey baby hey
Could you not see me in the darkness?
Did your stubborn pride get in the way?
How did you know, I wouldn't stay?
Not look back as I fade to black?
No future in living the past
Or mourning the morn
as the grey touches my temples
I ask how love could have been so simple
as 'twas then
for tonight and today
it mesmerizes me in complicated madness
Yes I confess
I bleed red
never shown
seldom said
scars in truth are dead
As is our love
all that's left
dearest one
is the burial
