Monochrome - Abyss, Watching Me

The noose is getting tight around your neck

And every day’s the same

Stuck, you’re suffocating in your sleep

And there’s no miracle to come

As you’re embracing your demise

A piece of paper on the counter

Only ten or fifteen words

To express the desperation

And remind them who you were

First you take a breath

You take a step

Are you sure you can take it no more?

Watch the sun from the shadows

Ghostly reach, it’s so

Distant, yet so close

Watch the sun from the shadows

The rendered picture’s so bleak

So monochrome

The choice is made

Getting ready to execute yourself

But these questions still remain

Why am I stuck here waiting?

Why do I expect something more?

And is there more at all?

So you took a breath

You made that step

You are sure you can take it no more

Watch the sun from the shadows

Ghostly reach, it’s so

Distant, yet so close

Watch the sun from the shadows

The rendered picture’s so bleak

So monochrome

Your arms are broken branches

Your heart — a dying coal

A single tear in the corner of your eye

But why?

But why?

Life was just around the corner

There to pay you a surprise

Time would change it for the better

If you only had the time

Watch the sun from the shadows

Ghostly reach, it’s so

Distant, yet so close

Watch the sun from the shadows

The rendered picture’s so bleak

So monochrome
