Despair
Verse 1
Clouds hung low in the western sky
As her car drove over the hill
Clouds tinged with a blackened hue
The same colour as my soul
Verse 2
I fell to my knees and faced the sky
Screaming her name out loud
The sky roared as if in response
Drowning my despair with sound
Chorus 1
Decisions made burn the soul
Leaving scorch marks for life
Decisions made burn the soul
Challenging your ability to survive
Verse 3
Tears flowed down my ashen face
Forming pools at my knees
Clouds burst their watery hearts
Burning my face with their sting
Verse 4
My gun felt heavy in my hand
The angry sky flashed it barrel
My pulse jumped and paced
Wind howled in mournful sorrow
Chorus 1
Decisions made burn the soul
Leaving scorch marks for life
Decisions made burn the soul
Challenging your ability to survive
Verse 5
An eerie hush settled over the hills
As the cold steel nestled my head
My hands trembled just so briefly
I was overrun with dread
Verse 6
Her smile flooded my senses
As the last sun fought the clouds
Love and memories overtook me
As I laid my gun down
Chorus 2
Decisions made burn the soul
Cradle your memories of life
Decisions made burn the soul
Loves of life will survive
