Sometimes I need to start with a blank slate
Sometimes I feel myself begin to dissipate
And the motions around me begin to move slowly
The sounds and the noises live quietly
Lying there in a vast emptiness within myself
Devoured by the dark that enters my heart

And the darkness devours us all
Turn around, brace yourself for the fall
It’s a lot to take in
Taste the salt on my skin
Shut your eyes then return to it all

The graveyard is a quiet place
For those who cannot see
They don’t realize the life in the dead
In those who cease to be
And when I see you cry
I’m reminded of your lie

And the darkness devours us all
Turn around, brace yourself for the fall
It’s a lot to take in
Taste the salt on my skin
Shut your eyes then return to it all

I miss your smile your sweet embrace
The memories of our happy days
The months gone by get a bit colder
The light shed turns a quick shoulder
The sound of laughter grows weaker
Lost is the hide and seeker

And the darkness devours us all
Turn around, brace yourself for the fall
It’s a lot to take in
Taste the salt on my skin
Shut your eyes then return to it all
