Only In the Darkness
You conjured vulnerability
Everyone wants to see that side of me
You conjured vulnerability...possibly...
You want to free me from the chains of anxiety
Will you do that for me?
You conjured up demons in my brain
You drove them away by acting insane
Refrain from killing my self-esteem
Before I choke to death and scream
Before I provoke you to anger at the seams
Before I decide not to mend your broken dreams
Yeah, you conjured so much feelings inside
You conjured many emotions that won’t subside
Ride away the pain in my lonesome heart
The pain that kills me softly from the start
You conjured loneliness that crawls inside me
You conjured happiness that lingers beside me
You conjured distress that hangs my neck in a noose of despair
You conjured up feelings for me and it didn’t even seem fair
You left me vacant in a lightyear moment
I’m just a teardrop away from being as happy-go-lucky as an infant this instant
These tears I cradle in my soul...
It’s an ugliness that is so beautiful
These fears I cradle underneath these eyes
It’s a truth beneath the lies...the bottomless lies...
The avarice lies you told me yesteryear -
That day you told me you loved me, dear
Yes, you lied to me once more
You let my wings of flight sinks faster and faster and faster...it’s all a blur
It no longer soars to the core
What do you think I should do if my life is falling at the brink of disaster?
You are considerate and kind
When you left all of me behind
You are considerate and wise
When you made me close my eyes
You are full of hatred and deceit
The words you say I won’t repeat
You are full of happiness it seems
You made me lose touch of reality by falling at the seams...along with my broken dreams
Yearning for change in our lives today
Burning away the doubt and dismay
You scorch aflame my mystifying rain
I’m falling victim to this unstoppable pain
Baby, don’t let go
I cried a many tear for you oh so long ago
Baby, I don’t know
Why I have fear in my heart in the undertow
Only in the darkness,
I see light in the abyss
Why do I feel distress?
And why do I feel happiness
Amongst the starlight?
I will make it alright tonight
Only in the darkness
Only in the darkness
Shelter me from sadness
Shelter me from madness
Shelter me from sorrow
Shelter me from yesterday
To seek another tomorrow
Some say the dismay will fade away
Only in the darkness,
I have seen hope amongst the stars
Only in the darkness,
I can undo the distress in your scars
Only in the darkness
Can you see the starlight tonight...
It will wipe away all your tears of fright
And fill you with utmost might...
I’m never alright
I’m never alright
Unless the darkness can make me feel alright
To gain the energy and motivation to fight tonight
Wrapped up in wretched woe
Bestow upon me joy in heart
Entrapped in midnight glow
Know that I love you,
Even when I fall apart
Wrapped up in solitude
I need the attitude of gratitude
I want something a lot more
Than this adoration to the core
Know that I love you,
Even when I don’t anymore
I’m never alright
Not this feeling tonight
I’m never alright
I tried to fight the fight
I’m never alright
I tried to take flight
I’m never alright
Unless you save me this night
Unless you save me tonight
Until then, I don’t feel it...
Conjuring up midnight lament bit by bit
Only in the darkness
Will I seek light tonight
