Laura Marling - Darkness Descends Lyrics
You're holding bits of styrofoamWith your face painted on to your friends,You listen to them whine and moanAbout everything you can't understand.Can I just say I don't fear the light,But darkness descends once more into my life.And suddenly we're all alone in silence,So I take a step away.I look up to the falling snowAs it makes its home upon my face.Well I wouldn't want to ruin something I couldn't save,The gap will keep us safe,The gap will keep us safe.Step away, get me when I'm down.And suddenly I'm five years oldAnd I'm just so cold I want to cry.I haul up on my gentlemen,Who have always been there in hard times.They're just not like that man of mine,Who visit me from time to time.My love, I treasure you.I hear that summer's coming backSo I stretch out my back and travel a long,The winter though it darkens meIt is pure and clean and all I want.I'll apologize to the ones I love,For leaving them when the sun comes up.Too bright for me, darkness descends.Oh well I'm not well again,And once more darkness it descends.The ground is falling under me,And I can't find the means to leave.Convinced that I am going mad,Oh I bury my head into his handsSo sure that I'm loosing faith,Oh I clear a space in his fathers land.You deal with God far too young,Before you know it your life has run away.
