Dark Dies

© 2022 Karianne Gabaldon

(Verse 1)

My cuts were as deep as the dark red Grand Canyon

Bleeding me dry, I’ve fallen inside.

I fancied a dip in rivers of abandon

Asking for doom, I took on the ride.

(Chorus)

You have made all of my hopeless days now hopeful

You have taken all of my doubt and made it doubtful

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the sun and blue skies

And all of a sudden dark dies

My depressing dark dies.

(Verse 2)

If you play your cards right you get the whole pot

Sitting there with a hazardous face.

Then that person you love was exactly who you thought

You feel you might just win the race.

It could be that he had maybe shook the ground

A 10.0 earthquake that just couldn’t settle down

I’m his for the taking, we really wow the crowd

Let’s take a bow.

(Chorus)

You have made all of my hopeless days now hopeful

You have taken all of my doubt and made it doubtful

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the sun and blue skies

And all of a sudden dark dies

My depressing dark dies.

(Bridge)

(And even though distance is)

Such an evil bitch

(We can’t go through with it)

For poorer or rich

(Him and I, we will get)

Better by the stitch.

Because dark died.

(My happiness is because)

He is with me

(I can’t believe I thought I was)

A death penalty

(And I just love what he does)

I am so complete.

Because dark died.

(Chorus)

You have made all of my hopeless days now hopeful

You have taken all of my doubt and made it doubtful

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the sun and blue skies

And all of a sudden dark dies

My depressing dark dies.

(Outro)

(My happiness is because)

He is with me

(I can’t believe I thought I was)

A death penalty

(And I just love what he does)

I am so complete.

Because dark died.
