Today all the power’s been cut off
Today all the lights got turned out
I’ve finally opened my eyes wide
Now all I can fill them with is the dark
It’s the dark
It’s not anything I’ve just found out
Nor any particular news
Althoughts it’s been here for a long time
The truth’s come to hit me out of the blue
Of the blue
I’m not afraid of reality
I’m just amazed by the end of all dreams
Will the sun still rise and still set now?
Without you here, and will the earth
Hold on its oblivious rotation
Even with my universe dead and gone?
Dead and gone
I’m not afraid of reality
I’m just amazed by the end of all dreams
It’s the absence the link of the chain
Binding my future away
In the silence, a dismal life
With only pain by my side
It’s a slipknot, the loos of my noose
They tighten for you
In the absence I will get by
Taking one day at a time
