Story behind the song
I lost my father this week. This is how I felt the day before he died. It's a scary place to be.
Lyrics
The Darkness
Patricia Baker, BMI/Robert Thomson©2006
The darkness lurks among the shadows
In every corner of my mind
Feeds on every insecurity
And weakness that it finds
When I try to fight or resist it
It claws long valleys across my soul
No, I can’t deny its existence
Because I can feel it staring holes
Chorus
The darkness is cold and empty
So lonely I can’t describe
It haunts me when I close my eyes
And terrorizes me at night
When I’m stumbling and shaky
The darkness squeezes me tight
If you listen you’ll hear it stalk me
Even our heart beats are synchronized
Wakes me in a sweat when I’m dreaming
It finds me where ever I hide
The darkness is part of the madness
It’s the madness that I understand
No, there’s no use in me pretending
It consumes me when ever it can
Repeat Chorus
