"Fade To Black"

I'm Hurtin',
I Know I Fucked Up,
But Deep Inside You Know I Made The Right Decision,
Play In My Position,
The Controls Are Different,
And Every Minute,
You're Facing A Different Opposition,
Then You Would Be Today,
Don't Play Like You'd Be Thinking The Same Way,
You Know This,
I Feel This,
Every Day, Every Second, I Remember Your Memory,
It's All But Forgotten,
But You Can't Blame Me For Disdain,
Leave A Perfect Stain,
Of The Memories Left Behind,
Of The Good Times And High Life,
Leave It For Pain And Suffering,
Was It Ever Worth It?
I'm Not Acting Like It Wasn't A Selfish Decision,
CUz You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You Anyway, Today,
I Made A New Promise,
One That I Couldn't Keep To You, Back In Our Day,
It Reads Like The Story Of My Life When It Truly Began,
A Story Less Beautiful Than The Queen In My Hands,
I Realized What I Had, But I Was Forced To Let Her Be,
Like The Famous Saying, If You Love Her Truly, Set Her Free
Only This Time, She Doesn't Come Back,
And She Never Will, But That's Risk I Took For Us Knowing The Outcome
I Just Feel Like I Skipped A Few Chapters,
And If I Could Get The Time Back, I Wouldn't Take It
But That's The Price You Pay With Death On Your Shoulders,
Sacrifice Love And Happiness For A Greater Purpose, Eh

Take The Last Breath In My Life
It's Not Like I'd Feel It Now
At This Point There's More Darkness Than Light
As My Life Fades To Black

I'm Sayin There's No Such Things As Happy Endings,
I'm Learning That From My Past And The Present,
I Shouldn't Have To Speak In Metaphors, For You To See It
I Shouldn't Have To Paint All You Pictures For You To Hear It
I Shouldn't Have To Sing You This Song For You To Taste It
I Shouldn't Have To Bloody Your Mouth For You To Feel It
I Shouldn't Have To, But I Do Cuz I Care,
More For Humankind Than The Price Of The Clothes That I Wear,
I'm Sayin' Everybody Has Their Right And Wrongs, Their Unforgivables,
Their Skeletons In Their Closets, Demon's Invisible
But Trust Me When I Say They're Their, And They Ain't Leavin'
It Makes It Difficult To Find Something To Believe In,
Somethin Larger Than Yourself, Somethin To Hold Close To You
To Take All The Nightmares Away, And Pray It Answers You
But That's All You Can Do When It Comes To The End,
Close Your Eyes, Say Your Graces, And Hope You're Forgiven

Take The Last Breath In My Life
It's Not Like I'd Feel It Now
At This Point There's More Darkness Than Light
As My Life Fades To Black

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Wrote this to the Apocolyptica instrumental for Metallica's Fade To Black. Believe it or not..... this is a rap.
