Light Reveals Our Wounds

Dear journal, I write this as our time grows short
 We are once again nearing the edge
 You can tell by the way the glow is closing in
 What started as a black pillar now fills the horizon
 We can see far from here
 But there is not much to do to prevent the inevitable
 It's like we were dirt between two cogs
 A meaningless speck in front of an unstoppable force
 It's like the glue holding our days together
 Now had gone, vanished into the air
 We had to leave all hope behind
 Some spent their last days staring at the sky
 Our calm didn't last
 They told me it never does
 It's getting dark again
 Hear the screams as the alarm goes off
 To whoever finds these words
 I just wanted to say
 Some days were good
 It was never meant to end this way
 ♪
 Murmurs in the shadows
 Ominous schemes for the sole purpose of power
 A long line of random occurrences
 That slowly took the shape of a plan
 I raise my glass to those
 Who knew and still
 Took against
 The coming storm
 ♪
 This is for you
 This is for you
 Who had the strength
 To march against the coming storm
 Our calm didn't last
 They told me it never does
 It's getting dark again
 Hear the screams as the alarm goes off
 To whoever finds these words
 I just wanted to say
 Some days were good
 It was never meant to end this way
