"I See A Darkness" lyrics

Anna Calvi & Perfume Genius Lyrics

"I See A Darkness"

Well, you're my friend
That's what you told me

And can you see?
What's inside of me

Many times we've been out drinking
Many times we've shared our thoughts

Did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got?

Well you know I have a love
For everyone I know

And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go

But can you see this opposition
Rising up sometimes

And it's dreadful imposition
Come blacking in my mind

And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then  I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Do you know how much I love you
It's a hope that somehow you
Could save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday, buddy
We'll  have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see

And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then  I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you
Could save me from this darkness
