Pitch Black Night

A song about the loss and gain of innocence.

Verse 1:

I held on so tight,

Thought I'd never let it go,

Though it pricked,

My bloodied fingers.

 

My childhood innocence,

Gone up in smoke,

Wash out like an old,

Voice worn singer.

 

Hook 1:

It was s'pposed to be bright,

S'pposed to have turned out right,

Everything was s'pposed to go my way.

 

It was gone like a dream,

Broken off by a scream,

Awakened to a dark and dreary day.

 

Chorus 1:

My wild rose,

Yellow turned to black,

My everything,

I can never have back.

 

Taken in a moment,

When the world seemed so bright,

One minute there's sun,

And the next, pitch black night.

 

Verse 2:

I can still see it all,

Like it was yesterday,

His dark blue eyes,

Searching mine.

 

I can still hear,

All those words he'd say,

Whatever I wanted,

At the time.

 

Hook 2:

It was s'possed to be amazing,

When I finally felt these things,

It wasn't s'possed to be a regret.

 

I was s'possed to look back,

With a nastalgia I lack,

When I think of all that I left.

 

Chorus 2:

My wild rose,

Yellow turned to black,

My everything,

I can never have back.

 

Taken in a moment,

When the world seemed so bright,

One minute there's sun,

And the next, pitch black night.

 

Bridge:

It may not been

Quite liked I planned,

But it happened,

The way it did.

 

And now I wonder,

Have I done all I can,

To be mother and father,

To our kid.

 

Chorus 3:

My wild rose,

Who brought the color back.

My everything,

Who makes up for all I lack.

 

Made in a moment,

When the world seemed so bright,

She's the bright rays,

That light up, Pitch black night.

 

Fade:

Only she can light...

 

The Pitch black night...

 

 

 

Author's Note

Not sure where it came from just boom! out in five minutes, I was supposed to be typing my book then all of a sudden I was singing this song like i had heard it for decades, it even took me a minute to realize it was my own words and tune and to think maybe I should type it up... so it hasn't been edited or anything yet.... =) Keep it in mind when reveiwing.

Reviews

I agree with Adam. You started out strong, but then you lost me. It could be a little better, but I still like it.

[Adam Jordan Turner]

It's ok. It lost me half way through. Kind of made an unexpected not very well justified twist. But good for lyrics.
