Black Cloud Lyrics

What is the point?

I'm drowning, no, I'm sinking down

The water only rises high

With every line that I write

Where I should feel free, all these chains confine me

Pull me out, I need you now

Left alone, the weight of the world will

Pull me back down

Can hardly breathe, always about to give out

I'm not who I used to be

Used to accept imperfections

Capable of serenity

I exist only under pressure

You would think I'm getting stronger

Burdened by the weight of it all

I'll stand just to fall

For so long I've watched the world go by

Hoping to be set free, now I'm asking why

Why I can barely breathe

With black clouds surrounding me

If only I could show you all

The dark that hangs above me

(It's all but blinding)

No matter where I go or where I turn

I feel it's presence

It's burden

How much more can I take?

Why does it always seem

Fate's only out to get me

Never once has it

Failed to defeat me

Taking piece by piece

What's left of my sanity

An empty shell

Going under again

For so long I've watched the world go by

Hoping to be set free, now I'm asking why

Why I can barely breathe

With black clouds surrounding me

To late for you

to think of me

I can't believe that I lost this feeling

To move on

Oh I can barely breathe

I cannot see

The thought to be

Set free

I've tried so hard to reach you

Give me a chance to break through

I'll still follow your voice

Oh God, give me a chance

I feel this darkness

Engulfing me, cannot breathe

I cannot take anymore

Have I lost my way?

All these black clouds

Are diminishing the light

Within me

Black clouds

Are diminishing the light

Within me
