I Don't Like Darkness

(album: Phases - 2019)

Hard to stay awake, I'm so exhausted
Hard to keep a friend, I guess I'm catious
Hide the pain inside, I don't endorse it
I can't even cry, I guess I'll force it

Funny when my head caved in, I thought I'd lost it
Might have had a date with death, I guess I dodged it
I don't want want to feel this pain, I don't like distance
I don't wanna leave this place if you're not with us

Please don't leave this house, I don't like darkness
I don't wanna see you out, I don't like darkness
Hate it when I close my eyes, I don't like darkness
I don't wanna go outside, I don't like darkness

Darkness to the light, I'll be forever gracious
Grey in your eyes, your soul must be silver plated
Though we don't talk, I'll miss our conversations
I fall apart, you fill up the empty spaces

Funny, now the rain comes down, I sit and watch it
Every time I hear that sound, I get nostalgic
I don't wanna feel this pain, I don't like distance
Even if you leave this place, your spirit's with us

Please don't leave this house, I don't like darkness
I don't wanna see you out, I don't like darkness
Hate it when I close my eyes, I don't like darkness
I don't wanna go outside, I don't like darkness

I don't want to leave this place if you're not with us
(Darkness to the light, I'll be forever gracious
Grey in your eyes, your soul must be silver plated
Though we don't talk, I'll miss our conversations)
I fall apart, you fill up the empty spaces
I don't want to leave this place if you're not with us
