Darkness Descends |
| You’re holding bits of styrofoam |
| With your face painted on to your friends |
| You listen to them whine and moan |
| About everything you can’t understand |
| Can I just say I don’t fear the light |
| But darkness descends once more into my life |
| And suddenly we’re all alone in silence |
| So I take a step away |
| I look up to the falling snow |
| As it makes its home upon my face |
| Well I wouldn’t want to ruin something I couldn’t save |
| The gap will keep us safe |
| The gap will keep us safe |
| Step away, get me when I’m down |
| And suddenly I’m five years old |
| And I’m just so cold I want to cry |
| I haul up on my gentlemen |
| Who have always been there in hard times |
| They’re just not like that man of mine |
| Who visit me from time to time |
| My love, I treasure you |
| I hear that summer’s coming back |
| So I stretch out my back and travel a long |
| The winter though it darkens me |
| It is pure and clean and all I want |
| I’ll apologize to the ones I love |
| For leaving them when the sun comes up |
| Too bright for me, darkness descends |
| Oh well I’m not well again |
| And once more darkness it descends |
| The ground is falling under me |
| And I can’t find the means to leave |
| Convinced that I am going mad |
| Oh I bury my head into his hands |
| So sure that I’m loosing faith |
| Oh I clear a space in his fathers land |
| You deal with God far too young |
| Before you know it your life has run away |
