I SEE A DARKNESS

Well, you are my friend
And can you see?

Many times we’ve been out drinking
And many times we’ve shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got?

‚Cause you know I have a love
For everyone I know
And you’ve seen I have this drive
To live I won’t let go

But could you see it’s opposition
Come rising up sometimes
Seen it’s dreadful and position
Come blacking in my mind

And that I see a darkness
That I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you
Would save me from this darkness?

I hope that someday, buddy
We have got peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
Then we’ll stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn’t all I see
No, I see a darkness
