Darkness

[Verse 1] The light dies at the window Ash settles on the glass I hear the black snow Falling upon my words Night scratches beneath the floor And the house falls still within it There is no one here to help me I have grown darker within myself [Pre-Chorus] And if they ask where I’ve been I’ll point to the empty threshold I’ve carried so much darkness inside I’ve grown closer to it than to the threshold [Chorus] Darkness, darkness, darkness Holds me fast Darkness, darkness, darkness Inside the fire (Darkness, darkness) Don’t let go (Darkness, darkness) Break me further [Verse 2] The days have gone cold in the kitchen Salt has dried in the cup I hid my fires Beneath the heaviest zero And every new step I take Feels like walking a blade in the rain I see a sign in the mirror That I’ll never find myself again [Pre-Chorus] And if they ask why I won’t turn back I chose this blackness And it whispers: "Glad" [Chorus] Darkness, darkness, darkness Holds me fast Darkness, darkness, darkness Inside the fire (Darkness, darkness) Don’t let go (Darkness, darkness) Break me further [Bridge] I do not ask for the dawn I fear the place where shadows thin When the whole world fades to nothing The depths are what save me Let the blackness follow me Let it take away all names I will become my own wall And I won’t flinch until morning [Final Chorus] Darkness, darkness, darkness Holds me fast Darkness, darkness, darkness Inside the fire (Darkness, darkness) Don’t Let go (Darkness, darkness) Keep breaking it Darkness, darkness, darkness I am not alone Darkness, darkness, darkness I am with her inside (Darkness, darkness) Let it go to the end (Darkness, darkness) My black edge
