Anne Clark Our Darkness Lyrics

Our Darkness Lyrics

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me

And we talk of it with
idealistic assurance
That it wouldn't tear us apart.
We keep our heads
above the blackened water

But there's no room for ideals in this
mechanical place

And you're gone now
and you're gone now
gone
now.
Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean

Through billowing
smoke that swallowed the sun

You're nowhere to be seen
you're nowhere
to be seen
seen.

Do you think our desires still burn?
I guess it
was desires that tore us apart.
There has to be passion
there has to be
passion
passion.
A passion for living
sunriving and that means
detachment.
Everybody has a weapon to fight you with

To beat you with
when you are down.
There were too many defences between us.

Doubting
all the time
fearing all the time

Doubting all the time
fearing
all the time

That like these urban nightmares;
we blacken each
other's skies.

When we pass the subways we try to ignore our fate
there.
A written threat on endless walls

Unjustified crimes carried
on stifled calls.
Would you walk with me now through this pouring
rain?
It used to mingle with our tears

Then dry with the hopes that
we left behind.
It rains even harder now
it rains even harder
now
now.
