Cold and Dark

Lyrics

Cold and Dark © 2005 Martha Ann Brooks (BMI) It’s cold and dark in here Guess I’ll have another beer Think of him down in the ground Wonderin how long ‘til he might be found Ain’t nothin’ more the Law can do Give him five, He’s out in two I'm the one he’s headin’ here to see He said one would die, him or me Chorus: I ain’t never hurt nothin before But I had to find a way, that’s for sure I took the only choice that I could see You would’ve, too, if you was me I hear him now, breaking down the door Wheel of fire burns in my head once more I feel the gun clutched in my hand He’s so surprised when I make a stand Chorus: I ain’t never hurt nothin before But I had to find a way, that’s for sure I took the only choice that I could see You would’ve, too, if you was me It’s cold and dark in here It's hell to live in fear Don’t matter what they do to me Now he’s gone and I’m free (tag) All I know is I’m the one who’s free

Description

Short Song Description: A murder song

Story Behind the Song: "Cold and Dark" was inspired by the story of a Canadian woman, Angelique Lavallee. The circumstance that Angelique found herself in has some commonality with other stories of domestic violence that I have researched. I find this very sad and disturbing. T
