hello again cold dark night
wrap me in your lack of light
hide my features from the crowd
then quiet my emotions loud
steer my thoughts from yesterday
when i allowed my heart to play
smiles that played across my face
lose themselves in this dark place
and hungers gnawing deep inside
feed themselves on dying pride
all those things i had to say
now simply seem to fade away
this place that has no company
just seems to grow inside of me
no quarter asked and none to give
in here where i retreat to live
this house built of blacks and grays
hides the joys of yesterdays
crushes dreams that sneak inside
gives my fears a place to hide
takes the light that comes with day
and holds it oh so far away
smothers dreams with half a truth
keeps my hopes so far aloof
so when i leave this darkened place
feel the cold mist on my face
hear the heartbeat start to fade
feel the beckoning of the grave
i'll walk alone that one last time
give the only thing that's mine
reflect back on what once was me
then lay and let my spirit free
