Darkness Song

I've learned to hold the line And to never look away I've taught myself the lies That will get me through the day Nothing ever lasts But the pain that circulates Through the chasms of our past And the breaths we dare to take Oh, Mama, can't you see? I've got a darkness shining through me I've got a darkness shining through me I've learned to hold the weight Of this mirror to the sky But I've taught myself the sense Of never asking why Nothing ever lasts But the blackness that dilates Through the curtains of our pasts To the steps we want to take Oh, Mama, can't you see? I've got a darkness shining through me I've got a darkness shining through me Oh, Mama, can't you see? I've got a darkness shining through me I've got a darkness shining through me
