Dark Side

I got in touch with my dark side Behind a sea of glass and dust The shard pressed into me till I smelled blood We all do what we feel we must I’ve never regretted any choice I never saw anything I’ve done as bad Because without each and every one of them I wouldn’t have gotten the things I have And though I may have caused a lot of pain It doesn’t compare to the pain I’ve felt I refuse to take responsibility for anyone else’s We all have to play the hand we were dealt. Some people were only there to teach me lessons I’ve tried to take the lessons and leave the people behind I move on a little further every day And I only miss them sometimes. I envy all those people that take so much longer To learn what they must to move forward Because they get to remain blind for precious seconds Rather than see the bland future they move toward. They don’t have to know that dreams shrivel and die They have more time left to hold them tight. Because ever second matters when you watch it shrink As the cold wind stings you through the abyss of time. Here I am, I know I can never return to then Free to dream, thinking I will always be able to And I have nothing to be but proud of my mistakes Because I have nothing else to prove.
