This Wild Darkness

Apportioned like madness in season Bracing all like a breaking of reason With every night lost and every day torn With the drama feeling calmer and it's calmer in the storm Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night I'll never be free Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way I can't stand on my own anymore I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor I can't break what I held and it never was true In the mirror what I said was a lie to you And me and everything I see and everything I could Tried so hard to be good For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine For everything, but I can fail just so many times Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way I can't stop when I feel like stopping At five a.m. just cry, shoot, copping The perfect life was enough for you And ever enough to see me through For all the lies that were spoken in waves And the way we lived as an affront to the days Was an affront to the things that we cared about Was an affront to everything that we cared about Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way Oooh Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way (Light my way) Light my way Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way (Please light my way) Light my way (Please light my way) (Out of the darkness) Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my way (Please light my way) (Light my way)
