Darkness, Blackness, I'M Such a Mess
Can’t you see the darkness,
Formulating in your eyes?
Can’t you see the blackness,
Spreading all sorts of lies?
I’m sorry to say, but black is not my color tonight…
But yet I’m wearing it on my boots both day and night
It reminds me darkness, blackness,
Holier than all is what you are to me
Yet, you are but the abyss I won’t miss
Taller than you is what I see in you, I see?
But I’m facing the blackness, darkness
I’m in distress and I’m in the blackness
Smaller than me, now I clearly see…me…
I’m losing myself deep down inside…
Deep down inside my lonesome eyes, I see
You’re all and all my favorite kind of blackness from the outside…
Where have you been?
I can’t see you, blackening
Into the abyss, you go
I’ll reap what I sow…sow…
I’m sorry to say, but black is not my color tonight…
But yet I’m wearing it on my boots both day and night
It reminds me darkness, blackness,
Holier than all is what you are to me
Yet, you are but the abyss I won’t miss
Taller than you is what I see in you, I see?
But I’m facing the blackness, darkness
I’m in distress and I’m in the blackness
Smaller than me, now I clearly see…me…
I’m losing myself deep down inside…
Deep down inside my lonesome eyes, I see
You’re all and all my favorite kind of blackness from the outside…
Looking in
Looking in
I’m having a good night, night, night
Yes, yet, you won’t let me be full of fright
It won’t happen if you see me flappin’
My wings, all about and what not — where have you been?
I’m sorry to say, but black is not my color tonight…
But yet I’m wearing it on my boots both day and night
It reminds me darkness, blackness,
Holier than all is what you are to me
Yet, you are but the abyss I won’t miss
Taller than you is what I see in you, I see?
But I’m facing the blackness, darkness
I’m in distress and I’m in the blackness
Smaller than me, now I clearly see…me…
I’m losing myself deep down inside…
Deep down inside my lonesome eyes, I see
You’re all and all my favorite kind of blackness from the outside…
Once you’re in the blackness,
You’ll never come back into the abyss — I must confess
I need your kind of happiness…
I don’t need this madness…
Into my distress and into my eustress…
I am having a good night,
So I won’t be full of fright
I am going to grow on in delight
As long as I wing this forward tonight
Can’t you see the darkness,
Formulating in your eyes with many delightful lights?
Can’t you see the blackness,
Spreading all sorts of beautiful goodnight’s?
And yes, black is my kind of color tonight
Because I’m wearing it on my boots with my might!
Blackness, darkness surrounds me
I’m such a mess as you can clearly see
