Our Darkness

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me

And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance

That it wouldn't tear us apart

We'd keep our heads above the blackened water

But there's no room for ideals

In this mechanical place

And you're gone now

And you're gone now, gone now

Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean

Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun

You're nowhere to be seen

You're nowhere to be seen, seen

Do you think our desires still burn?

I guess it was desires that tore us apart

There has to be passion

There has to be passion, passion

A passion for living

Surviving

And that means detachment

Everybody has a weapon to fight you with

To beat you with when you are down

There were too many defences between us

Doubting all the time (Time)

Fearing all the time (Time)

Doubting all the time (Time)

Fearing all the time (Time)

That like these urban nightmares

We'd blacken each other skies

(Skies, skies, skies)

When we passed the subways

We tried to ignore our fate there

Of written threats on endless walls

Unjustified crimes carried in stifled calls

Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain?

It used to mingle with our tears

Then dry the hopes that we left behind

It rains even harder now

It rains even harder now, now
