Darkness Lyrics by Oliver Daldry

After Dark

2015

[Verse 1]
Young, and I was was drugged up
Loveless, broke, and fucked up
I'm getting kind of used to the darkness day by day
And caught beneath the spires
And so scared of starting fires
Your innocence, it will slowly drip away

[Pre-Chorus]
And our romance, how it blossomed into twins
Oh, and half was cold and half became my sins

[Chorus]
I didn't want to listen, no I couldn't step away
I was getting kind of used to the darkness anyway

[Verse 2]
Burned out, lost, and broken
A slave to the unspoken
My mind, it became a world of black and grey
I guess that's where you found me
I saw you see me drowning
Oh and lots of blood, in time I'll fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
And our romance, how it scattered in the wind
Oh, and half a heart weighs heavy on my sins

[Chorus]
I didn't want to listen no I couldn't step away
Oh, I was getting kind of used to the darkness,
Getting kind of used to your darkness anyway

[Bridge]
Standing here alone, can you call in another [?]
(Oh, I lost it, I lost it)
I turned you into home, it's a place that we never change
(Were you ever mine?)
Screaming on the flames, the truth was always there
(I lost it, I lost it)
I'm giving up the ghost, giving up the ghost, giving up the ghost

[Pre-Chorus]
And our romance, how it scattered in the wind
Oh, and half a heart weighs heavy on my sins

[Outro]
I didn't want to listen, no I couldn't step away
I didn't want to listen, no I, I couldn't step away
I was getting kind of used to your darkness
Getting kind of used to your darkness anyway
