Darkness

I never knew how much you meant to me
You were the ground I stood on
But oh, I battled for ages
Fought what I thought you were
Suddenly it’s clear what I’ve wasted
I shut you out and shut you off
Oh, I ripped out the pages
Cut where I thought it would hurt

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night

I built up an altar to stop you
Stone upon stone in the sand
I laid you down like you were a killer
I stretched out a murderous hand

The darkness and the light
The morning and the night
My darkness and my light
The morning and the night
