I wrote a little more than half of this several weeks ago, stumbled on it today and got a flash of an idea so I decided to finish it. It's too dark, too sad

~ ~ ~

(long instrumental intro)

Maybe Silence is Golden
But it gets very chilly
When it's dark ... dead quiet
(except for the whispers)
A void filled with nightmares
of last angry words
soul-spilling-blood and
the death-screams I heard

(instrumental)

I smell my own death
as my heart stops its beating
A last gasp of breath
that my lungs are pleading
whispers a name
once more in the dark
And my lips taste
the spring water shared in the park

-Chorus
Dying and dead
Days filled with dread
Living in blindness
Dead-walking ahead
toward silent sounds,
a cold empty bed,
and love left behind

(instrumental)

(repeat chorus)

(instrumental)

-Outro
Living in blindness
Dying in silence
And Love-left-behind
is the death-walker
waiting in my mind.

This is not 'just' for me but for anyone who can relate to it, present or past. I feel ya.
