I Am Darkness

*I've got dreams and they've led me to you

won't say much but they're pretty bad too

you don't have time but you know that I do...*

I am darkness

your old friend

here to let the sun shine in

I am the places you never look

the crooked window & the closed book

the cracks and the spaces in between

I am the one who forgot to wear green

I am the one who never leaves traces

the only one you see in a sea of faces

I am the one who is up all night

making noises by dim candlelight

I am the relief you never knew you wanted

the only monster left in a house called haunted

I am the rage in every crashing wave

all the lonely ones they couldn’t save

I am the one you’ve known your whole life

I am the one holding the knife

I am the one who watches you sleep

I am every secret you promised to keep

the fear that surfaces when you dive too deep

I am the blink of an eye, the double take

I am what hides beneath everything fake

I surround every crack that lets light in

I am the one lurking behind every sin

I am what you see when you close your eyes

I am the reason behind every disguise

I am the empty bottle you dumped outside

you may not want me but I’m along for the ride

I am darkness
