Cloud Named Darkness
Fear becomes the barrier that keeps me in
No smoke to see,
and no life of sin
My life is as hard as can be,
but my fear keeps me in
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
to listen to the music within
What kills you, is that you can't see,
that you're fighting this battle all alone,
with no direction of where to be,
and your memory's gone
When the sun comes up,
you'll be a better person
when your stress fills a cup,
from the bottle that worsens
only you can't see,
that you're fighting this war by yourself
the music that can be,
is your only way out
Death becomes the fear that keeps you out
everything is gone,
as a flower you sprout,
on the mountain you sit upon
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
and watch you within
You can do whatever,
but you can't do what you want
your life is forever,
and nothing but a haunt
Nothing is held against you,
for no one told you what was wrong
only you can see right through you,
And the time you picked up a pen,
you fell headstrong
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
and listen to you within
Although I cannot say,
that you've won this battle alone,
but one day, I pray
You'll step off your thrown,
and live to be something better,
then to be the person unknown
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
and listen to you within
Right now you're a ghost,
wishing you would have made better decisions
This substance was your host
and those pills are your bridges,
that are now burning down,
because no one was there to save you
Still those who you have left
grieved in your pain of suffering
before you even left,
when your soul was alone and blustering
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
and listen to you within
That darkness is you,
floating above my head
Through the wind, you blew,
Fighting away your fears, instead
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
and listen to you within
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
I sit in silence under a back sun
and listen to you within
You treated yourself to a new beginning
Harvested the flowers that grew me,
And in this hole I keep digging
before I couldn't see
This hole is closing in on me
And I'm afraid I've lost this battle
With myself & the people around me
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud named Darkness rolls in,
you sit in silence,
and listen to me within
I've made choices before,
some for the better,
and some for the worst
without you of course
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud names Darkness rolls in,
all there is is silence,
and no music to be heard within
So don't come to me,
I'm not there
I can't be there,
you were never there for me
When the light of day is gone,
and the cloud names Darkness rolls in,
all there is is silence,
and no music to be heard within
