Beaches of Darkness

by Matt   Jun 6, 2005


But I'm afraid to be alone
To face this aggressive world
Without a chance to be happy again
But then again
I've done it before
And I'll do it again
With the sound of the ocean crashing
I am freed from this attack
And you are left in the wake
Of footsteps through the sand
Where the moon hides in the clouds
And the stars refuse to help you
Maybe I'll show up to show you the way
But I promise you nothing
You already killed the part of me that cared
Now you're back to rip through the scars
Do you even care if I die bleeding from you?
I'm losing it all, going insane from your ways
Nothing is fine and nothing will ever be fine
Can't you see this? Can't you feel it?
I can't go on living like this
Holding this rose in my hand
You promised I'd be perfect once it died
But it hasn't aged a day since then
As perfect as I thought I was to you
It's all over now, you made sure of that
Like this was all one big test
But now I've learned, everything is a lie
And I'm all I have in this empty world
So wander this beach yourself
The waves won't lie
The sand will only part underfoot
Maybe daybreak will save you
Maybe sunset will kill you.
