I See a Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

27 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.… Read More [Intro]
Well you're my friend
(That's what you told me)
And can you see
(What's inside of me?)

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?

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?
