I left thinking that I would be back

But I never did return

If you would forgive me I'd forgive myself
D# F
But forgiveness never has these terms
A# D# A#
The sky was as dark as the thoughts I was thinking
D# A# F
It was ignored by the moon

If you would believe me I'd believe myself

But believing never comes this soon

[Verse 2]
A# D# A#
The streets made a sound only my ears could hear
D# A# F
I was alone with the rats and raccoons
D# A# F
And your memory keeping me alive
D# F
As the clouds moved away from the moon
A# D# A#
Then silence it hit me is a way to speak clearly
D# A# F
D# way to never say what you don't mean
D# A# F
But silence is useless in cases of torture
D# F
It just says God won't intervene
A# D# F D# A# D# F

[Verse 3]
A# D# A#
And this night like others is a sign for the way
D# A# F
That the gray air speaks for the dead
D# A# F
The air is as vague as the thoughts I have now
D# F
That these memories are just in your head
A# D# A#
So I kept walking through the clouds that were lifting
D# A# F
To reveal what I'd thought
D# A# F
There was more fog behind the mist that seemed was the only
D# F
Thing keeping me from what I sought

But the questions can't find a way to leave me behind
