"Darklands" lyrics

"Darklands"
(feat. Hatchie)

Mother, won't you save me now?
Mother, how I'm breaking down
Sister, how'd you bring me now?
Oh, brother, how I crave a crown

And all I need is at the side of the road
And leave, now I got to go
Now all I need is at the side of the road
And leave, now I got to go

Well, I can't keep chasing my demons
In case I chase away my angels too
And I can't keep chasing my demons
In case I chase away my angels too, too
Too, too, ooh, ooh

Westlands, I'm just a man
Free of the ghost at last
The darklands burn so bright
And brother, do I crave the laugh

Now all I need is at the side of the road
Free, now I got to go
And all I need is at the side of the road
I'm free, now I got to go

And I can't keep chasing my demons
In case I chase away my angels too
And I can't keep chasing my demons
In case I chase away my angels too, too
Too, too, ooh, ooh
