In The Darkness
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.
Demons come from every side
(In the darkness is the light)
Pulling me on a downward slide
(In the darkness is the light)
Getting hot the deeper i go
(In the darkness is the light)
Into the darkness down below
(In the darkness is the light)
Now the ghosts come dancin by
(In the darkness is the light)
Outta the shadows of my life
(In the darkness is the light)
All of my losses, none of my wins
(In the darkness is the light)
Why do I have to face em again?
(In the darkness is the light)
I lived my life on one streamline
The future 'head and the past behind
Don't wanna go back to yesterday
But i don't know how long i can run this way
The jungle hung with tangled vines
(In the darkness is the light)
I'm tangled up in my own lines
(In the darkness is the light)
A creature there in darkness lies
(In the darkness is the light)
Why is it that he has my eyes?
I lived my life on one streamline
The future 'head and the past behind
Now i feel more like i never knew
And they tell me the only way out is through you
They say the truth will set me free
(In the darkness is the light)
Down here on my knees
(In the darkness is the light)
But just when i thought i lost my sight
(In the darkness is the light)
I catch a glimpse of that beautiful light
(In the darkness is the light)
In the darkness is the light
Surrender we'll win the fight
This girl's walked with fire and ice
But I came from the other side of paradise, paradise
Oh, yeah, paradise, yeah
My paradise is here with you
Is here with you, baby
Paradise, paradise
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Paradise
