Dark Side Of Me

Coheed And Cambria · The Afterman: Descension [2013]

In those discouraging days

I always missed the mark

When we were comfort and close

I would neglect to keep

You safe and unexposed

A portrait of time repeats

This moment now replaced with an empty wish to give

I give, I gave



I gave my everything

For all the wrong things

In this cold reality I made this selfish war machine

Oh this has become hell

How can I share this life with someone else

I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us

Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

Here in the dark side of me



Now in your absence I wade

Through the coursing, lonely, lost

And in this tragic dismay

I never could believe what I became



I gave my everything

For all the wrong things



In this cold reality I made this welcomed war machine

Oh this has become hell

How can I share this life with someone else

I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us

Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me



I couldn't give you what you needed

It's all my fault

Too coward to believe I lost it all



I gave my everything

For all the wrong things

In this cold reality I made this selfish war machine

Oh this has become hell

How can I share this life with someone else

I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us

Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me
