Darkness, My Ole' Friend
Hello, Darkness, My Ole' Friend,
I've come to talk with you, again
My loneliness comes to set in
Why am I sitting here, chatting with sin?
What the hell did I do, to earn such my life,
That I have tried living true
I only seek to live peacefully
So, I need to figure this out, Indeed!
Why do I keep coming back defined?
My darkness takes me places
That I'm unwilling to unhide
The multiple times I'd catch myself
Openly conversating with me, I'd shelf.
Darkness:
Telling me I'm crazy
Should I be?
What the hell is happening,
From deeper within me
Into the depths of my soul I must go
Should it be a story foretold
It has never been so deep and deeply tolled.
I never asked to be born here into this world,
This is a catch twenty-two
Being born into this sin.
Who wants to be born into a place,
Where the Lies, Greed, Lust
Have no Grace.
Sex can be bought on every street corner,
Along with its diseases, it carries
Scorned, without a lover!
You are all too comfortable for me,
I know the place I'm unwilling to be.
Here you go, Darkness, My Ole' Friend,
With a bunch of Angry Smiles in its sins
I have been baiting you all the while
I will not walk with you one more mile!
