Dark Side of Me Lyrics

In those discouraging days I always missed the mark
When we were comfort and close I would neglect to keep
You safe and unexposed, a portrait of time repeats
This moment now replaced when an empty wish
To give, I give, I gave

I gave my everything for all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made this selfish war machine
Oh, this has become Hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you
There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

Now in your absence I wade
Through the coursing, lonely lost
And in this tragic dismay
I never could believe what I became

I gave my everything for all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made this welcomed war machine
Oh, this has become Hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you
There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

I couldn't give you what you needed
It's all my fault
Too coward to believe I lost it all

I gave my everything for all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made this selfish war machine
Oh, this has become Hell
How can I share this life with someone else?
I promise you
There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

Cover art for Dark Side of Me lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

Sirius makes it home from the hospital, still reflecting on what he's learned and what he's lost. Sitting in front of his house, he spots Colten, Meri's lover and the father of her unborn child. Part of Sirius wishes he could just walk by without a confrontation; the other part wishes Colten would pull out his gun and open fire, putting an end to his misery. Instead, a distraught Colten asks why he came back. If he truly loved Meri, he would have simply let her go after all that time, rather than leaving her alone and expecting her to welcome him home with open arms and resume their lives after almost two years of no contact.

He realizes that Colten is right and breaks down, still lamenting the selfishness that has led him to this point.

To continue where stopstart left off, I believe that us hearing the voice of All-Mother at the very end is Sirius Amory getting on his ship and setting a course back to the Keywork, presumably to join with his wife once again.
