Fade to black - Metallica (too dark? 🌘)


Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further, every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else


I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give


There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Rant: Help me to understand why some people here on FB will say they will refer you, say everything looks great, but don’t want to answer questions about their experience with the company?
