I See a Darkness

Well, you are my friend And can you see? Many times we've been out drinking And many times we've shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever notice The kind of thoughts I got? 'Cause you know I have a love For everyone I know And you've seen I have this drive To live I won't let go But could you see it's opposition Come rising up sometimes Seen it's dreadful and position Come blacking in my mind And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness That I see a darkness That I see a darkness Did you know how much I love you Is a hope that somehow you Would save me from this darkness? I hope that someday, buddy We have got peace in our lives Together or apart Alone or with our wives Then we'll stop our whoring And pull the smiles inside And light it up forever And never go to sleep My best unbeaten brother This isn't all I see No, I see a darkness No, I see a darkness Oh, no, I see a darkness Oh, no, I see a darkness Did you know how much I love you? Is a hope that somehow you Would save me from this darkness?
