Pacing
Pacing
Pacing

A room as dark as my soul
A deep dark void of a hole
Someplace I once called home
Where's that dang comb?

Pacing
Pacing
Pacing again

The sound of rain against the wall
I take another fall
The floor comforting me
Though it's confusing me

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

The hours slowly crawl by
The dark becoming familiar with my eye
My one good eye
Oh my

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting yet

The dawn is taking its time
I can hear my clock chime
Counting the hours
I wish the night could've been ours

Falling
Falling
Falling

My eyes closed sometime last night
I said that I would be alright
I didn't know
All it took was one blow

Falling
Falling
Falling still

My dreams consume my waking days
In the end it all pays
Piece by piece my life drifts apart
Somehow breaking my heart

Dying
Dying
Dying

I lay inert on the floor
The creaking of the door
A shriek of someone I know
I have taken this final blow

Dying
Dying
Dying so

My love caused my death
As I took my last breath
I whispered your name
Were you to blame?

I was pacing in a dark room
