Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness lyrics

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

And many times we've shared our thoughts

But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got

Well you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know

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

But could you see its opposition comes arising up sometimes

That its dreadful antiposition comes 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

And did you know how much I love you

Is a hope that somehow you, you

Can save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday buddy

We 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

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

And did you know how much I love you

Is a hope that somehow you, you

Can save me from this darkness
