Darkroom Lyrics by Elsewhere

Hopebliss

2019

Repression is my best friend, always offering me a way out
When I can’t face my problems, he gives me another souvenir
That gets me out of this hell
He tells me that the best is always ahead of me
And he’s the filter in the background of my mind
And when I get depressed again I know he’ll say:
‘Hey there, let’s think of different times.’
And even if he has the best intentions
I wonder if the weight of what I’m holding drags behind
Because I feel like a human scrap book
With all these films and memories left undefined

And if I ever go into that darkroom
And start developing the fragments in my mind
It’s a puzzle only I remember
And I am truly scared of what I will find
And as I put together all the pieces
An old friend comes and flips the lights
‘What good does it do you to remember
All the times that you begged me to come into your life?

Isn’t life too short to worry about the past?
Aren’t you better off with me your best friend Repression?’
It might cause you a lifetime of regret
And the problem of never dealing with the root of what makes you sad

Maybe next time I’ll break the lights
And decide to live in darkness for a while
Maybe it will consume my whole life
And I’ll lose my best friend this time

Maybe next time I’ll break the lights
