  • A portion like madness in season
    Bracing all like a breaking of reason
    With every night lost and every day torn
    With the drama feeling calmer and it's calmer in the storm
    Speakers are crying like a forrest in the rain
    I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
    And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night
    I'll never be free

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way

    I can't stand on my own anymore
    I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
    I can't break what I held and it never was true
    In the mirror what I said was I lied to you
    And me and everything I see and everything I could
    Tried so hard to be good
    For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
    For everything but I can fail just so many times

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way

    I can't stop when I feel like stopping
    At five A.M. just cry, shoot, copping
    The perfect life was enough for you
    And ever enough to see me through
    For all the lies that were spoken in waves
    And the way we lived as an affront to the days
    Was an affront to the things that we cared about
    Was an affront to everything that we cared about

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way, oh

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way (light my way)
    Light my way (light my way)

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way (out of the darkness)

    Ooh, in this darkness
    Please light my way
    Light my way (light my way) Writer/s: Richard Melville Hall
