Last Fade to Black

The moonlight crawls through the cracks in my wall
Shadows stretch long
They're starting to call
A whiskey bottle whispers
Its song's grown cold
Each sip I take
The night's grip unfolds
Oh the dark it lingers
Deeper each night
Stealing my breath
Swallowing light
I lay here knowing
I've met my track
This is the last fade to black
The bed feels heavy
Like a stone-laden sea
My past mistakes
They keep drowning me
I reach for the stars
But they've all gone blind
Just echoes of choices
I've left behind
Oh the dark it lingers
Deeper each night
Stealing my breath
Swallowing light
I lay here knowing
I've met my track
This is the last fade to black
The wind outside hums a funeral tune
The clock on the wall ticks too soon
I close my eyes
Feel the cold embrace
The darkness smiles
It's my time to face
Oh the dark it lingers
Deeper each night
Stealing my breath
Swallowing light
I lay here knowing
I've met my track
This is the last fade to black
