lyrics

The Darkness
Jesse Witney


The rain it falls
at any given moment
the rain it falls
it can drench you
to the core

Love lost
In the deepest
Ocean of your heart
There ain't no potion
For the emotion
That breaks your
pillars fast

You cannot run from the darkness
Only wait it out for the dawn

So hold me like a baby
Hold me in your arms
This spell it is abrasive
Coat me with your love

You cannot run from the darkness
Only wait it out for the dawn
Only wait it out for the dawn

You cannot run from the darkness
Only wait it out for the dawn
Only wait it out for the dawn

Despair not or be lonely
Your friends and family’s
love you keep
This time it is worth knowing
I know you feel the pressure deep
You wonder where we're going
But ain't that just humanity
To rip and claw at wanting more
Not understanding nature's law
Patience now it won't be long
The sun is on the rise
It's on the rise
The sun is on the rise
it's on the rise
