Dark Days – Rick Fines 2018

Dark days descend on me
Trouble’s all I can see
Blue skies have opened wide to show the bitter truth inside
Dark days descend on me

Well a mind stays weak with worry
In a world that shows so little mercy
Where a job is but a cage, without a living wage
A mind stays weak with worry

There’s a heart that’s black and hollow
In a darkened well, deeper than sorrow
There’s no breath to inhale where grief casts it’s veil
And a heart is black and hollow

The road ahead offers no straight line
Around every curve I see the same signs
People offer up directions, just their own reflections
The road ahead offers no straight lines
