lyrics
(Verse 1)
I see the moon in the distance
Approaching hour by hour
Its purpose is to consume me
To greedily devour
I try to fight its allureness
But I can’t find a way
It shines on me with such vengeance
I just don’t have the strength today
(Verse 2)
The stars drop by as spectators
To a game of hide and seek
An unfair match for their amusement
I know I’m far too weak
They play with my emotions
And kick me when I’m down
Taunting me with their insults
Sneering, laughing like a clown
(Chorus)
Darkness falls
And locks me in its grip so tightly I’m not breathing
Darkness falls
Controlling every part of me so I am left completely helpless
Darkness falls
Squeezing every limb and muscle ‘til I’m aching
Darkness falls
Unconscious from this fight
The blackness is so bright tonight
(Verse 3)
The stormy clouds up above me
Rain down upon my head
I look for cover and safety
But all I find instead:
A barren land of desolation
Nowhere to run and hide
I want to escape from all the madness
Believe me when I say I’ve tried
(Extended Chorus)
Darkness falls
And locks me in its grip so tightly I’m not breathing
Darkness falls
Controlling every part of me so I am left completely helpless
Darkness falls
Squeezing every limb and muscle ‘til I’m aching
Darkness falls
I drift into the night
Unconscious from this fight
Please help me find the light
For the blackness is so bright tonight
I see the moon in the distance
Approaching hour by hour
Its purpose is to consume me
To greedily devour
I try to fight its allureness
But I can’t find a way
It shines on me with such vengeance
I just don’t have the strength today
(Verse 2)
The stars drop by as spectators
To a game of hide and seek
An unfair match for their amusement
I know I’m far too weak
They play with my emotions
And kick me when I’m down
Taunting me with their insults
Sneering, laughing like a clown
(Chorus)
Darkness falls
And locks me in its grip so tightly I’m not breathing
Darkness falls
Controlling every part of me so I am left completely helpless
Darkness falls
Squeezing every limb and muscle ‘til I’m aching
Darkness falls
Unconscious from this fight
The blackness is so bright tonight
(Verse 3)
The stormy clouds up above me
Rain down upon my head
I look for cover and safety
But all I find instead:
A barren land of desolation
Nowhere to run and hide
I want to escape from all the madness
Believe me when I say I’ve tried
(Extended Chorus)
Darkness falls
And locks me in its grip so tightly I’m not breathing
Darkness falls
Controlling every part of me so I am left completely helpless
Darkness falls
Squeezing every limb and muscle ‘til I’m aching
Darkness falls
I drift into the night
Unconscious from this fight
Please help me find the light
For the blackness is so bright tonight
