[Verse 1]
Somber [Em]is my[D5] min[C]d, now that
Mis[B5]fortunehas faced [B]my
[E5]kind[Em];
Weary glazed stare,
[G5]Bene[D5]ath the[Am]
Pitch-black [B5]hair.[B]
[E5]hair.
On [Em]my cheeks, once so li[D5]ve, Adorn
Flood [C]of tears, [B5]caused by [B]strife
[Em]And as I griew[G5]e under the [D5]sky, even
[Am]Raven croaks to me it's des[B5]pise

Somber [F#m]is my min[Am]d, Black is the[E]
Col[E5]our I f[F#m]eel[C#m]
These completely [F#m]dead emotions,
[A5]Drai[Am]n the last [A5]bit of me[B][C#m]
No matter how many [F#m]tier s I shed,
No mat[Am]ter how much I[E5] rep[F#m]ent

[Verse 5]
I've [E5]reached [Em]the point
of the no [D5]re turn,
These [C]are deeds from I [B5]can n[B]ot flee
[Em]From a refle[E5]ction I see[G5]
