This Darkness on Us

from Half Keys by The Morning Sea

/

lyrics

But when the night comes
I can hear you coming back in waves now
Climbing up a steep and empty staircase
Shouting out to no one, save your own face

But you are leaving
And I can read the writing on the ceiling
You should know my dark and dirty secret
I’d tell you but I know that you won’t keep it

And it’s a lie that spreads
From the blankets of our beds
And you’re just like a knife that dreads
To be raised

But there’s your laughter
The kind that sticks around forever after
The kind where you’re reliving former glory
If you ask me it just sounds like a good story
But with the lights out
It’s time for you to crawl back to your wasteland
I heard from someone that you’re headed westbound
If I know you you’re more likely going straight down
Where there’s no seasons
And time for you to hide
It stands to reason
In time I’ll hear you calling me and pleading
But that will only tear us both apart

And it’s a lie that spreads
From the blankets of our beds
And you’re just like a knife that dreads
To be raised
Are you still alive, or dead
In that corner of your head
Where you shut out the lights instead
And brought this darkness on us
On us...

But when the night comes
I can hear you coming back in waves now
And I can see, I can see you clearly
The only promise you ever held dearly
But you can’t hear my secret
I’d tell you but I know that you’ll repeat it
And I can hear, I can hear you calling
You know this will just tear us both apart

And it’s a lie that spreads
From the blankets of our beds
And you’re just like a knife that dreads
To be raised
Are you still alive, or dead
In that corner of your head
Where you shut out the lights instead
From the blankets of your beds
And you are just like a knife that dreads
To be raised above your head
Where you shut out the lights instead
And brought this darkness on us
On us...
