The Dark You Fear In The Night

(album: The Incubus - 2016)

He said darling it'll be okay
We'll figure out this situation don't worry.

What?!

Don't patronize me with those condescending words you spew
Your point of view is filtered through your ignorance
I'm caving in!
I try to speak but I'm feeling weak
So I collapse down to my knees and cry will I ever see the light again?

Who could have done this sick misdeed again, again, repeatedly?

Transgression suffers me
Who could this culprit be?

My paranoia's conquering
The last hope left inside of me

Disintegrate my sanity
Tear me apart piece by piece

He said darling don't you cry
Now look me in the eyes and believe in me and the words I say
That its gonna be alright
(It's gonna be alright)
Revitalize your faith in life
My love I'll try
(I swear I'll try)
To reignite the hope and light
The dark you fear in the night

You don't understand
What it's like to be
Violated and forced into
Apprehension every time I fall asleep
Not just when I black out
But every night that I dream
It's a virus in my head for which there's no vaccine.

Who could have done this sick misdeed again, again, repeatedly?

Reticent sinful deeds
Threatens my morality

I look around and I can't see
But it feels like eyes are watching me
Panic anxiety, trepidation misery!

He said darling don't you cry
Now look me in the eyes and believe in me and the words I say
That its gonna be alright
(It's gonna be alright)
Revitalize your faith in life
My love I'll try
(I swear I'll try)
To reignite the hope and light
The dark you fear in the night

Every night I lie alone in our bed
While you play in our shed
With your hobbies, you're happy!
Do you know how I feel?
I'm lying there crazy!
Pulling the hair out of my head now my soul it feels dead.

He said darling don't you cry
Now look me in the eyes and believe in me and the words I say
That its gonna be alright
(It's gonna be alright)
Revitalize your faith in life
My love I'll try
(I swear I'll try)
To reignite the hope and light
The dark you fear in the night

Transgression suffers me
Who could this culprit be?
