Black Cloud

Sometimes a few days ago
Or was it minutes? I don't know
Something black and heavy laid itself on me
Guess it felt like laying on me
It has its own little free will
Every night it comes back to kill

Every smile I allow my lips
Fades away as it grips
Sorrow lives on its fingertips
As it touches I feel this eclipse
It's always too late to call
You know, we're doomed after all

I write these words as I feel clear
As I smile and laugh at fear
But there's always that blackness behind my ear
Making sure my state of mind goes severe
I fear I might be losing my mind
But how can I lose something I never found?

Every smile I'll allow my lips
Fades away as it grips
Sorrow lives on its fingertips
As it touches I feel this eclipse
It's always too late to call
You know, we're doomed after all
