[Verse 1]
Someone I loved
Once gave me a box full of darkness
It took me years to understand
That this too, was a gift
It took me years to realize
You teared my heart through fordable mires
But I wasn’t made for shallow waters
My heart is an ocean

[Verse 2]
And I think that’s where I am right now
Floating, drifting away
Too weak to continue swimming
Yet not weak enough to give up and sink
Leastwise I know
That salty waters might cure everything
Shedding tears or to walk into the sea
Or to walk into the sea

[Verse 3]
Did you know, if you hold your breath all too long
You will finally sleep forever?
Did you know, that I never forgave myself
For what we’ve become?
How odd I can have all of this inside me
And to you it’s just words, another letter?
But what is loss? What is wealth?
I am nothing! We are nothing!
We are nothing!
We are nothing!

[Chorus]
I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black

I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black

[Verse 4]
There’s a place in my heart that will never be filled
And even during the best and the greatest times
I will know it… …more than ever
I will know it… …more than ever

[Verse 5]
In another night, in another world
Things could have been so different
In another night, in another world
Things would have been so different
[Chorus]
I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black

I am the mourning
You are the scars
I am the night
Color me black
