Hello Darkness

Hello darkness,
we'll feed you secrets
so you can be the place when we need to hide.

We'll tell you a story,
a reason, to stay by your side.

Guide us, lead us, help us,
we'll give you strength in return.
Guard us, shield us, save us,
as long as we stand firm.

And take flight in the night...

Time is a lie,
a shadow, we fail to identify.

Forgive, forgive 'em.
Now make us forget, hun.

'Cause nothing's worth more than a memory -
a past that hurts and heals;
so 'til then, let's just seal 'em.

Hello darkness, you're our friend,
can we take refuge in you again?

Your mind, pet,
It's a labyrinth.

Note: 'Forgive 'em' is written that way so it can be also read as 'forgiven'.
