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

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
