Dark & Cold( Goodnight My Dear)

Verse 1

 

Demons always testing me. Trying to get the best of me.

Trying to get a piece of me but, they would get the rest of me.

Sanity is dead to me ; it’s only a bad memory.

If I were to die today, I would leave no legacy.

If I were to die today, I would not rest in peace.

If I were to die today, they still won’t let me be.

If I were to die today, you know I found the remedy.

Show up to my funeral and get free Hennessy.

Show up to my funeral in a black limousine.

Show up to my funeral in a suit as black as me.

Show up to my funeral and get some free food.

Show up to my funeral, I’ll be in a good mood.

Show up to my funeral and show me no love.

Show up to my funeral and act like a thug.

Show up to my funeral and I won’t be here.

This actually your funeral my dear.

 

Chorus

I see I’m getting old.

My heart grows dark and cold.

You’ve got nothing else to fear.

Say goodnight, my dear.

I see you’re getting old.

Your heart grows dark and cold.

Lay down and prepare…

…to Say goodnight my dear.

Say goodnight my dear, say goodnight my dear.

You’ve got nothing else to fear, You’ve got nothing else to fear.

Say goodnight my dear, say goodnight my dear.

I’ll always keep you near, I’ll always keep you near.

 

Verse 2

Opportunities are history. Better days are mysteries.

I can cut myself and bleed the notes to a symphony.

Joy is dead to me, give me a dark melody.

Read the lyrics and see that they’re going nowhere heavenly.

I stay out of my mind because it’s not safe inside.

Inside my mind is where all the demons reside.

I always dream to escape a world so unkind.

When the world spins, I’m always left behind.

Through it all, I won’t take my own life.

I know that I’m the wrong that I can’t right.

I know I’ll be abolished by the sight of the light.

That’s why I know I ought to stay in the dark of the night.

The fires of hell can’t melt my cold heart.

I stand outside of hell looking in with no heart.

If you follow me, you will disappear.

Lay down and say goodnight my dear.

 

I’m looking for purpose but, I can find none here.

I can only water my sorrow with crimson tears.

Life is nothing but, a game of musical chairs.

If you lose, you have to say goodnight my dear.

They try to suffocate the pain with tobacco smoke.

I can’t buy into optimism because I’m broke.

I look in my wallet and had no hope to spare.

I looked at my future and I see nowhere.

Everyone knows I’ll be putting my all in.

Children of God ,in this city of sin.

…They fight against the flesh but, they can’t win.

I’m quick to answer the phone if death is calling.

Pain is all they gave, so it’s all I owe.

I talk about pain as it's all I know.

Life is nothing but, a burden to bear.

It's time to put it aside and say goodnight my dear.
