Darkest Days

these, our darkest days

Darkest Days

Inside this life I hear your cries,
Can't stand the parties you attend
Following trends that never end
Inside this life a darkness grows
Hidden within, away from prying eyes.

And all I can see is
Broken dreams, empty promises
Crimson pain seeps through your veins
Dimly aware, nothing's amiss.

These, our darkest days.

Inside this life you know they reign
You let yourself be compromised
Every move is scrutinized
Inside this life, it's still the same
There's nothing I can do to stop the pain.

And all I can see is
Hidden lies inside your eyes
Crimson pain clouds all you know
Dimly aware, the end is nigh.

These, our darkest days.
