There's a Darkness

If the bombs go off and I've no courage to hold fast Promise me you'll leave Keep a safe distance from the blast I'm terrified I'll burden you the way I do myself It's hard enough to self-destruct without destroying someone else 'Cause there's a darkness deep inside of me Brother, I can't keep it in And how on earth can you console This death-haunted heart in a world full of sin? This world full of sin Wave, after wave, after wave, after wave After wave, after wave, after wave I've told all my secrets And I've faced all my darkest fears But nothing seems to still the sadness Nothing stops the tears 'Cause there's a darkness deep inside of me Lord, it's all too much to bear The joy of "the already" All but smothered by "not there" Wave, after wave, after wave, after wave After wave, after wave, after wave After wave, after wave, after wave, after wave, After wave, after wave, after wave... Whatever I decree However they may flee Wherever You may be Let Love draw the darkness Draw it out of me When lusts betray this battered heart longing to be free When seasons sworn to shape me make me timber from a tree Let it all be brought to light Behold the agony 'Cause I need You to stay more than I don't want You to see I need you to stay more than I don't want You to see
