I inhale so deep into my lungs
The smoke so I might blow out a cloud
To reach up and cover the sun in a shroud
So long I wanted to block out It's light
The dream to live in an eternal night
I've seen so much more then I've ever wanted to see
Honestly I've never even asked any of this to be

When I found you I found a place I'd like to park
Drawn in with your glow in a world so very dark
But while I'm in the shadow and you're in the unobscured
You can not see me so there is no strength in a word

You are the sun and I am the moon
There is no meeting of us neither midnight or noon
The only way if we meet at an eclipse
To spread fear of the apocalypse
You have your place and I have mine
I can see that now so surly I'll be fine

There are ghosts that I cross every corner of this town
I've learned so well to hide signs of every single frown
So often I wonder why I am still here
When there is nothing left to even hold me near
But it is not in my way to let go
If you ever knew me then this you would already know

When I found you I found a place I'd like to park
Drawn in with your glow in a world so very dark
But while I'm in the shadow and you're in the unobscured
You can not see me so there is no strength in a word

For so long now I have just chased you across the sky
Just narrowly obstructed to your view
There is no way for you to see the things that I do
I've bled every drop from within this heart
Just to offer the choice of a fresh start
But I should have remembered the place I reside
Within this darkness is the place I hide

Whenever history has always seemed so bleak
The weight makes it so difficult to even speak
I must find strength to look away from the past
This ship has been sinking ever so fast
And I see not a single sign for land
But really did I plan it any other way

When I found you I found a place I'd like to park
Drawn in with your glow in a world so very dark
But while I'm in the shadow and you're in the unobscured
You can not see me so there is no strength in a word

I have found my ways to cope with this life
I'll admit I cling deeply to my every vice
The path I was given bears a hefty price
And I still don't know what brought me here
To the start before that first year

The moment my mother gave birth
And I was brought here into this earth
This was something for which I never asked
But still by them all I was tasked
To live and as long as I can survive
What is the pint
With no victory within my strive

When I found you I found a place I'd like to park
Drawn in with your glow in a world so very dark
But while I'm in the shadow and you're in the unobscured
You can not see me so there is no strength in a word

When I found you I found a place I'd like to park
Drawn in with your glow in a world so very dark
But while I'm in the shadow and you're in the unobscured
You can not see me so there is no strength in a word

I've grown accustom to this eternal night
I thought it would take my vision away
To block out the bright of every day
And I was never any more wrong
But for the light now I do not long
I see so much better now with no light
There is no reason to cling to the frigh
