i've written songs
in the dark, in the dark
i've felt inspired
in the dark, in the dark
i hide myself
in the dark, in the dark
used to be afraid
of the dark, of the dark
those in the light know we die
in the dark, in the dark

now i am mute despite myself
all of them are gone
the silence overtakes me
the idle words forsake me
and i am left to face me
i’m held accountable
for every idle word
curse the idle words
