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
