The Darkest Places
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.
Maybe it is dangerous
To invite a stranger into the room with us
The noise is growing louder but I'm not scared at all
When there's no more money in politics
They'll be tearing down the union brick by brick
There'll be cynics holding clinics about where we have been
With every self-proclaimed historian
You know I know you don't want this
You don't need this
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
You know and I know we have to face this now
We have to face this now
The days are growing dark what are we gonna do?
The countries in a panic when I turn on the tube
So maybe I'll just wake up in the afternoon
You can change the channels on your tv
Push all the little buttons 'til your fingers bleed
But you won't change me
There's nothing I would do for you cause
You don't wanna see
You know I know you don't want this
You can't dismiss
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
You know and I know we have to face this now
We have to face this now
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
Putting the word out we have to face this now
We have to face this now
A generation taking numbers, making calls
As shadows move across my bedroom wall
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
You know and I know we have to face this now
We have to face this now
I'm shining the light on the darkest places
Putting the word out we have to face this now
We have to face this now
