The Darkness

I am the night All your grievances and pain Are swallowed whole In the black of my domain We belong outside Walking bleary-eyed Through the empty streets Where the monsters meet In the darkness In the darkness We stand alone In a world of vacant cars Let nothing change Underneath these dying stars In the status quo Of the streetlamp's glow I will feast on you As the shadows do In the darkness In the darkness But I'm torn away By the light of day Stark and methodical In this frame Nothing looks the same Landmarks of my daily life Glimmer with magic by night When you get tired There's a mattress on the floor If you undress I won't pressure you for more I'll lay by your side Still but satisfied Counting phantom sheep As the lonely weep In the darkness In the darkness But I'm torn away By the light of day Stark and methodical In this frame Nothing looks the same Landmarks of my daily life Glimmer with magic by night I am the night I am the night
