Darkest Day

Bring me black roses
For a black celebration
Bring me dark sadness
For a darkest, saddest day
Bring me no absolution
Just a damned crucifixion
Bring me dark sadness
For a darkest, saddest day

Staring - always staring
Straight down the middle
Down the barrel of a gun
Down the spiral staircase
Into the great abyss
No sacrifices, no second chances
On this my darkest day

Smiling - never laughing
Nothing funny ever happens
In this place called a heart
A place you once called home
Now empty and lifeless
A monument to cruelty
No redemption, no poor excuses
On this my darkest day

Acting - always lying
Pretence is nothing new
To this nightmare existence
Penance for no transgression
Thank you for making my life
Thank you for breaking my life
No regrets, just one answer
Here I go - bang, bang!
On this my darkest day
