Oh Sweet Catastrophe (SONG LYRICS)


Oh sweet catastrophe

Now where have you been?

I've searched for you so desperately

Inside of this pen.

You're the answer I've needed

But the question I've feared

I know light is your mother

But darkness I fear

Sits inside of you silently

Just waiting to crawl

Its way back to the surface

Like an infected scar

I fear balance is over

The balance is gone

Please somebody save us

Please somebody come

Oh catastrophe

Leave me to fade out the light

And uncage the night.

Hey y'all's. Just another small girl from an even smaller town. So, have a nice day. Lates.
