"He Came in Black"
(dark alt-pop / cinematic sadcore)
[Verse 1]
I saw him in the clouds again
Tall like a storm I couldn’t hold
He smiled like the world was ending
Then vanished before I got cold
He left the sky a little darker
And my chest a little thin
Just a flicker of a maybe
Before the silence pulled me in
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this love or is this mercy?
Is this fate or just delay?
He never touched me, but I bled
When he looked the other way
[Chorus]
So I stood on the cliff, moon pulling my skin
Whispered to the stars, “don’t let me begin”
I’m tired of almost, I’m done being real
I want to be cloud, to forget how to feel
He came in black, left me hollow and wide
And I fell into nothing with my eyes open wide
[Verse 2]
They said dreams mean something deep
But mine just bruise me slow
He wore affection like a costume
And then left me in the snow
I asked the wind, “what did I do?”
But she won’t talk to me no more
And the earth just held me gently
Like she knew what I came for
[Pre-Chorus]
He never said it, but I heard it
Between his blinks and breathless space
“You were never meant to keep me
You were meant to be replaced”
[Chorus]
So I stood on the cliff, moon pulling my skin
Whispered to the stars, “don’t let me begin”
I’m tired of almost, I’m done being real
I want to be earth, to forget how to feel
He came in black, and he broke me in style
And I fell into nothing with a terrible smile
[Bridge]
It’s not my fault, I deserved more
I say it soft like closing a door
I did enough, I burned so clean
But he walked past like I was just a dream
No thunder, no grace
Just a shadow on my face
[Final Chorus]
So I stood on the cliff, with the sky in my hands
Told the moon, “I no longer understand”
I’m tired of begging the stars to respond
I want to be gone more than I want to belong
He came in black, and I came undone
And I closed my eyes…
just to feel like someone
