Stay In Darkness

Far from the touch of the light
far from greed
from things we need
from things we heed
In the loneliness of the night

Why are you here by our side?
to soothe our pain?
it is in vain
we are insane
to find another place we tried

We don't want to hurt anymore
to be a disgrace
to be chased
to be erased
To stay in the darkness we swore
