In My Darkest Hour

In my hour of need
Ha you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me

Did you ever think I got lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one I'm thinking of...

You'll never know how hard I tried
To find space to satisfy you too

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong

But oh I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head your face your eyes
Tell me who think you are, who?

I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land

There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first,
Please god send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you
Alone, so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain

Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away

In my darkest hour
