Dark Synesthesia ͛

━━ volume three; black gives way to blue

'I don't wanna feel no more
It's easier to keep fallin'
Imitations are pale
Emptiness all tomorrows
Haunted by your ghost
Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I'll remember you'

Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtain's drawn, now it's done
Silencing all tomorrows
Forcing a goodbye
Lay down
Black gives way to blue
Lay down
I'll remember you'

Hera never told her friends what she had thought — something that turned out for the best, as it had never been true. Even for them, it felt far too personal; and you couldn't blame her. She had been set on thinking that was the last she had of Cedric; it was no wonder she wanted to keep that dream alive while she could.

Maybe that's what her parents had been thinking at the time — with all the chaos and collusion; it made perfect sense that they wanted to live years ahead of themselves, cling onto what they imagined would be a lifetime together...
