Black dawn

As a new day dawns I lie awake
Thinking about all the things I've done
As a fleeting memory flashes through my head I try to catch ahold of it As the black dawn comes I remember

Black is the color of my heart
dawn not the way I feel
I don't understand how new beginnings
Come about in this world
How new beginnings come from pain

My memories are so real
I know they happened
But why couldn't I remember them
Cos they happened at dawn
They created my black dawn
