Lyrics and music by Toby Darling

lyrics

The Darkness

Am G
Starved for so long
E7
I forgot the taste of sweetness
Am G
Through my dry lips
F
The sound of laughter
Am
And the texture of another's skin

Yet I still lived
Battened beneath the mantle of dispassion
With a hard ceramic shell of ivory
To keep emotions like raindrops
Pattering softly before they slipped away

G F#
Shall I let you glimpse inside?
Bm A
To see the spoiled good beneath the shine
Em Bm
Risking all for that distant dream
F#m
of what they call Love
E
which might bring only destruction

Let's move slowly
Like blinded beggars on a moonlit path
careful not to add new injuries to old
But holding hands firmly clasped
To see where the darkness leads
