lyrics

Dark Days Coming Down
I lost my sweet lover
Long shadows reaching out
I lost my sweet lover
Trying not to lose my mind

Dark Days Coming Down
I lost my sweet lover
Storm clouds rolling in
I lost my sweet lover
I just can't keep from crying
And the stars refuse to shine

(And when) every little thing
Reminds me of him
I want to smash it all up
And never start again

Dark Days Coming Down
I lost my sweet lover
Dig a hole in the ground
I lost my sweet lover
Say goodnight to the beautiful light of the Day

(Cause when) every little thing
Reminds me of him
I want to smash it all up
And never start again

Goodbye, Dear Old Moon
Goodbye to the Sun
Goodbye to the Stars
I will miss you, every single one
For I've been condemned to spend the rest of my days in the darkest dungeon

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
