The Dark You Fear in the Night Lyrics by Famous Last Words

The Incubus

2016

[Verse 1]
He said, "Darling, it'll be okay
We'll figure out this situation, don't worry."
What?
Don't patronize me with those condescending words you spew
Your point of view is filtered through your ignorance
(And I'm caving in)
I try to speak, but I'm feeling weak
So, I collapse down to my knees and cry
"Will I ever see the light again?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Who could have done this sick misdeed?
Again, again, repeatedly?
Transgression suffers me
Who could this culprit be?
My paranoia's conquering
The last hope left inside of me
Disintegrate my sanity
Tear me apart, piece by piece
[Chorus]
He said, "Darling, don't you cry
Now, look me in the eyes
And believe in me, and the words I say
It's gonna be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Revitalize your faith in life
My love, I'll try (I swear I'll try)
To reignite your hope and light
The dark you fear in the night"
[Verse 2]
You don't understand what it's like to be
Violated and forced into apprehension every time I fall asleep!
Not just when I black out, but every night that I dream
It's a virus in my head for which there's no vaccine!
[Pre-Chorus]
Who could have done this sick misdeed
Again, again, repeatedly?
Reticent sinful deeds
Threatens my morality
I look around, and I can't see
But it feels like eyes are watching me
Panic, anxiety, trepidation, misery
[Chorus]
He said, "Darling, don't you cry
Now, look me in the eyes
And believe in me, and the words I say
It's gonna be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Revitalize your faith in life
My love, I'll try (I swear I'll try)
To reignite your hope and light
The dark you fear in the night"
[Bridge]
Every night I lie alone in our bed
While you play in our shed
With your hobbies, you're happy
Do you know how I feel?
I'm lying there crazy
Pulling the hair out of my head
Now, my soul, it feels dead
[Chorus]
He said, "Darling, don't you cry
Now, look me in the eyes
And believe in me, and the words I say
It's gonna be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Revitalize your faith in life
My love, I'll try (I swear I'll try)
To reignite your hope and light
The dark you fear in the night"
[Outro]
Transgression suffers me
Who could this culprit be?
