I See a Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

ContributorsI
See
a
Darkness
LyricsThe
song
is
coming
from
inside
the
person’s
head,
and
in
his
thoughts
he
is
asking
his
friend
whether
or
not
he
can
see
his
pain
and
depression
beneath
his
happy
appearance.…

Well
you're
my
friend
(That's
what
you
told
me)
And
can
you
see
(What's
inside
of
me?)
1]
Many
times
we've
been
out
drinking
And
many
times
we've
shared
our
thoughts
But
did
you
ever,
ever
notice
The
kind
of
thoughts
I
got?
2]
Well
you
know
I
have
a
love
A
love
for
everyone
I
know
And
you
know
I
have
a
drive
To
live
I
won't
let
go
could
you
see
its
opposition
Comes
rising
up
sometimes?
That
its
dreadful
end-position
Comes
blacking
in
my
mind
that
I
see
a
darkness
And
that
I
see
a
darkness
And
that
I
see
a
darkness
And
that
I
see
a
darkness
And
did
you
know
how
much
I
love
you
Is
a
hope
that
somehow
you
Can
save
me
from
this
darkness?
[Verse
3]
Well
I
hope
that
someday,
buddy
We
have
peace
in
our
lives
Together
or
apart
Alone
or
with
our
wives
That
we
can
stop
our
whoring
And
pull
the
smiles
inside
And
light
it
up
forever
And
never
go
to
sleep
My
best
unbeaten
brother
This
isn't
all
I
see
no,
I
see
a
darkness
Oh
no,
I
see
a
darkness
Oh
no,
I
see
a
darkness
Oh
no,
I
see
a
darkness
And
did
you
know
how
much
I
love
you
Is
a
hope
that
somehow
you,
you
Can
save
me
from
this
darkness?
