Black Days, Long Nights

I never thought the night would fall so quickly
I never thought I’d really need
To hear all the sounds that echoed through me
So I could get chance to breathe
Your sadness hid behind your careless smile
Your heavy heart you kept concealed
Your words sustained the weight you always lifted
And eased the wounds that never healed

Black days, long nights
I can’t bear to kill the lights
‘Cause I know I might find
Things I want to leave behind
I saw it in your eyes, you’re fading away
You had this dream almost every night
You climbed your mountain, you touched the sky
You came back down and you lost your way
The dreams you had, you threw them all away

The gods died with me today
Took’em with me down the drain
I figured it was them who made the noises
In the back of my, back of my brain

Black days, long nights
I can’t bear to kill the lights
‘Cause I know I might find
Things I want to leave behind
I saw it in your eyes, you’re fading away
You had this dream almost every night
You climbed your mountain, you touched the sky
You came back down and you lost your way
The dreams you had, you threw them all away
You had this dream almost every night
You climbed your mountain, you touched the sky
You came back down and you lost your way
The dreams you had, you threw them all away
You had this dream almost every night
You climbed your mountain, you touched the sky
You came back down and you lost your way
The dreams you had, you threw them all away
