Darkness Descends

You're holding bits of styrofoam With your face painted on to your friends You listen to them whine and moan About 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 snow As 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 old And 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 back So I stretch out my back and travel a long The winter though it darkens me It 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 hands So 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
