To my mother, whom I loved very much

I don’t wanna feel no more

It’s easier to keep fallin’

Imitations of pain

Emptiness of tomorrow, haunted by your ghost

Laid down, black gives way to blue

Lay down, I’ll remember you

Fading out by design

Consciously avoiding changes

Curtains drawn now it’s done

Silencing all tomorrows, forcing a goodbye

Laid down, black gives way to blue

Lay down, I’ll remember you.

– Alice In Chains, “Black Gives Way to Blue”
