darkness, darkness (I wrote another song)

darkness, darkness, here we are again.
I talk to you, because you're my only friend.
And even though I fight with you, and drink until you're gone,
with darkness at my side I carry on.

darkness, darkness, how do I explain?
Let me help you, let me share your pain.
I want to feel the things you do, to make me real again.
darkness, darkness burn and bite my skin.

darkness, darkness, where do we go from here?
my throat has dried and I'm frozen with your fear.
I wish that when they looked at me, they'd see you standing there.
darkness, darkness help me hide my tears.

darkness, darkness, your power has me down.
To get much lower, we'd be under ground.
Hold my hand and stay with me, when no one is around.
darkness, darkness you're the greatest friend I've found.

darkness, darkness, daylight's come again.
And here I find myself without my friend.
Although I may despise you, and try to push you away.
darkness, darkness you got me through the day.

the dark of night envelops me (a love song)

I stand outside myself, and watch it all begin.
I wish I had a friend. This sensation doesn't end.
It only fades away at night and in the morning starts again.

You think I'm crazy, and I guess I think you're right.
But please don't laugh at me, I'm simply not up to the fight.
I'm losing touch again, tell me what to feel.
Don't look inside of me, and tell me that this isn't real.

You can shed my darkness, if I open the door.
But if I give into you, am I human any more?
I am unbalanced, my bones all ache with pain.
It's probably in my head, I wish I could explain.

I want to reach for you, but you don't understand.
This isn't what I planned.
I don't ask for much, let me hold your hand.

I can't be needy, and so I scream inside.
My former self has died.
I want him back at times, I need to take that ride.

Another lonely night. Staring at my phone.
I've been left alone.
I woke up in the dark, and made my way back home.
