Dark Friend

Streetlight bleeding through the blinds
Another quiet night gone white
TV flickers without sound
Empty bottles all around

You say
You’re alright
Same words almost every night
Every hour melts the same
Nothing changes but the weight
Same old glass
Same dead stare
Same ghosts sitting in the smoke-filled air
Dark friend

Dark friend
Stay a little longer
The silence gets too loud tonight
Dark friend
Pull me under slowly
I don’t wanna feel my mind tonight
One more drink
One more lie
One more night
Just passing by

Phone lights fading on the table
Half-read messages unstable
Curtains closed against the day
Another morning washed away
You laugh
But slower now
Like the world keeps pulling down
Every promise disappears
Drowning softly year by year

Same old glass
Same dead stare
Same ghosts sitting in the smoke-filled air
Dark friend

Dark friend
Stay a little longer
The silence gets too loud tonight
Dark friend
Pull me under slowly
I don’t wanna feel my mind tonight

One more drink
One more lie
One more night just passing by

Maybe somewhere deep inside
You still wanna feel alive
Maybe underneath the smoke
There’s still something left to hold
But every night keeps closing in
And every night you let him in
Dark friend

Sitting in the neon glow
Keeping broken people warm
Dark friend

Holding on too tightly
Till the light is almost gone

One more drink
One more lie
Dark friend
Don't come back
Dark friend

Dark friend
Damned in Hell
