Bound To Darkness

You’ve pulled yourself away

The distance between us

Filling with emptiness everyday

Into the shadows you fade

Stretched to my breaking point

I can’t follow you down

I must let you go, my light is running out

I wish you would’ve just turned around

You meant so much to me

 

To the darkness I have lost you

Into emptiness I must let you go

You hear no good and see no light

You barely put up a fight

 

I stuck it out for as long as I could

Down this path, you knew I would

I can’t believe the day has arrived

I never thought I’d leave your side

But in many ways you have left mine

 

Slowly I saw you fade

I don’t know why you turned this way

I saw your light turn to gray

In complete uncertainty, what should I say?

I wish I wouldn’t of let you sink so low

It’s to late now your one with your shadow

 

So lonely as I walk back into the light

So comforting when the day turns to night

The shade is so soothing even in the cold

I see this path starting to unfold

I need you; I’m unable to fight this alone

I turn and run into the emptiness, the dark you call home
