The End Of All Light

You can chalk it up to manic tendencies
Attributes she has also given to you and me
A lasting black cloud hovering unapologetically
That serves to crush pure thought and pollute all that is humanity
We are self-serving, slaving away to please ourselves
We are the kings and servants all in one
Some more, some less

No dawn will come tomorrow
Darkness for a decade
Hold the ones you love close
I can't say for sure when the sky will clear
But it will, for a while

Her words move through me like a wave of fear crashing down on me
The panic strikes as strong as a God
The tsar bomb: Overhead to free me

Empty shelves still stand where she used to keep her records
Theoretically speaking
We will spend every minute of every hour
Of every day, of every year
Replacing that vacant space mixed with our love and our fear

Understand that you will meet death
Before actual death

No dawn will come tomorrow
Darkness for a decade
Hold the ones you love close
I can't say for sure when the sky will clear
But it will, for a while

Her words destroy me like a wave of fear crashing down on me
The panic strikes as strong as big brother
The satellites: Overhead to oversee

A life so low and undefined, covering all vision
A true rage that is blind
We are naked, without shelter
And when this pill is forced down our throats
We become numb
A welcoming numbness that lies dormant until our end comes
But this is not the end, you see

No dawn will come tomorrow
Darkness for a decade
Hold the ones you love close
I can't say for sure when the sky will clear
But it will, for a while

Her words destroy me like a wave of fear crashing down on me
The panic strikes as strong as big brother
The satellites: Overhead to oversee
