This Wild Darkness

Apportioned like madness in season

Bracing all like a breaking of reason

With every night lost and every day torn

With a drama feeling calmer it's a comma in the storm

Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain

I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain

And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wire

And night, I'll never be free

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore

I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor

(Light the way)

I can't break what I held and it never was true

(Light the way)

In the mirror what I said was I lied to you

And me and everything I see and everything I could

I tried so hard to be good

(Light the way)

For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine

(Light the way)

For everything but I can fail just so many times

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

I can't stop when I feel like stopping

At 5 a.m. just cry, shoot, copping

(Light the way)

The perfect life was enough for you

(Light the way)

But never enough to see my through

For all the lies that were spoken in ways

And the way we lived as an affront to the days

(Light the way)

It was an affront to the things that we cared about

(Light the way)

Was an affront to everything that we cared about

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Light my way

Light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Please light my way

Oh, in this darkness

Please light my way

Please light my way

Light my way
