There’s a dark cloud hanging over me
And it won’t rise and leave.
The sun doesn’t know how to push through
And find a way to light my eyes.
I’m broken within
The cracks won’t go away
I thought that shadows
Only followed sunshine
But it’s midnight black
And I’ve lost sense of time.
There is a film that’s layered on my skin
And it won’t scrub off.
The rain doesn’t know how to wash clean
My mascara stained windows.
She’s angry he said nothing
She’s angry I wasn’t direct
She’s screaming because he’s gone
She’s cutting into her scars again.
I’m breaking down again
I can’t get my legs to move
No use in getting out of bed.
The cracks in my heart
Won’t go away
I thought that shadows
Only followed sunshine
But it’s midnight black
And I’ve lost all sense of time.
