Darker Shade of Black

I'm beginning to think that I understand

How this all works

And I'm beginning to think that I know I can

Find a way to bring you back

After I let you slip away...

 

It's hard to hear that little voice, they say

When it all goes wrong

It seems like it's all being thrown away

But I'll find a way to fix it

After I let you slip away...

 

*But it's happening way too soon

The Earth has collided with the Moon

All the buildings crumble down

Waters flood the ****** ground

Watch it slip away

Fade away.*

 

It's hard to deal with losing you

After all, it was in our grasp

Please tell me if there's anything I can do

To bring you back

After I let you slip away...

 

I see the tears running down your cheek

You brush them away with a shaky hand

Caught in the moment, I tried to speak

But no words came out

After I let you slip away...

 

*I've fallen to the world of black

Once you're there, you can never go back

We continue to fight over ****** land

But until we're sure we understand

Watch it slip away

Fade away.*

 

Now even though I told you no

You went and left me in the dark

I tried to tell you I need you so

But you just laughed

After I let you slip away...

 

I can feel my soul begin to crack

I don't think I can continue on

It's all a darker shade of black

I realize I need you now

After I let you slip away.

 

*Trying to cross the bloodied land

The shadows of you turned and ran

I tried to catch up, but they moved too fast

Should have known this could never last

But still, I long to hear from you

Until then, there's nothing I can do

But watch it all just slip away

Just fade away.*
