Young Guns

The shadow I cast,
Well it weighs more than my soul,
It's the only proof that I am here at all.
I will cordially invite you,
If you promise to accept,
Under no uncertain terms,
Will you be second best.
So unwind this mortal coil with me,
'Cos your darkness is a light, to me.
All of my colour,
Is bleeding away,
So now you watch me fade,
Into the endless grey.
I keep the, inevitable at arm's length,
Pushing back with all my strength,
But it's not enough.
