Part One

In twilight
Where rain and gray aren’t innocent
None of us are
Shadow life
The light is dim and paranoid
This is all we have
Now we leave this place
Between the light and the dark there’s a comfortable grey
From all I’ve known I’m leaving today
Don’t make me turn away
When the light comes
From far away
I’m closing my eyes in shadow
When darkness takes me
So far away
I look for the light and find that you can’t have both
I look around
See through myself and to the ground
For I am empty
What I have
It’s all I’ve got and is the cause of pain within me
Now we leave this place
Between the light and the dark there’s a comfortable grey
From all I’ve known I’ll have to part ways
I won’t go through this, the divorce is too great
I will not let go of all I’ve never wanted
Must I turn away my only hope to see the day?
