Darkness At The Door
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is our corner of the planet
It's the straight edges we inhabit
We ignore the darkness at the door
Turn the lights out if you hear me
Stop your screaming, just speak clearly
The lonely and the righteous
I just need friends and nothing more
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
It's the first sign of an affliction
Familiarity of an addiction
That old friend's a welcome sight
I like it when I see him
He covers up the world we live in
Lights a firework in my pocket
Some friends are worth the fight
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door
I must manage expectations
My idols are revelations
I hope I never meet them
This is our corner of the planet
It's the straight edges we inhabit
Just friends and nothing more
Become the darkness at the door
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
(Waiting for the darkness, waiting for the darkness)
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
(Waiting for the darkness, waiting for the darkness)
Darkness at the door to greet me
