Hello Darkness My Old Friend

Hello Darkness My Old Enemy Take some time to collect your thoughts inside The playing field is rough yet we have nothing to hide Shallow promises made in the dark have come to light With regard to mental illness we all struggle with the issue Perhaps we haven't bitten far off then we could chew A picture says a thousand words as if you haven't heard The sign post up ahead read stop yet we kept going It's not based in the know but in the doing that matters We celebrate in little places based upon a silent hill For some it's cheap thrills in the back of their car A flood of tears pierce the skin where to begin again The challenge to be set free is only a question of time Hello darkness my old enemy go to hell where you belong Some ay whisper your name in a song but it won't be long Having long hanging fangs that bite in the night to fright A black crow looks intently in garbage cans for some bread Your face full of dread it's the walking dead among us feeling sick When Satan is knocking at your hearts door have Jesus open the other side We build fences to honor our material treasures yet soon will discover The fight to heaven's shore depends on a heart that's true & pure It's the battle that we uphold no you will do as you are told To bask in the vast array of a rainbow hidden in the dark
