As Darkness Falls

As darkness falls
into my life 
The world has turned
from day to night
life has changed
in just one day
and you don't have
a thing to say

From love
to enimy number one
I never thought
This day would come
of all the hateful
things you've done
I guess you thought
You had to run

Your day will come
and i can't wait
When your destiny
Becomes your fate
As you feel the rage...
the pain... the hate...

I think about 
the darkest times
And can't accept 
the bottom line
As I turn my back 
and close my eyes
It feels like death
This thing called life

it's hard to say 
what's really true
As i clear my head 
and thoughts of you
Everything 
I thought I knew
come to find 
I have no clue

It's safe to say
We're far from sane
To live the way
We did in pain
Life can seem
So dark and gray
When everyday's
a tear drop stain

I guess I am
The one to blame
As darkness falls
On me like rain
