Darkness

Lyrics

suddenly i find 
i’ve got darkness on my mind 
it's the question mark that keeps me looking 
& it's never satisfied 

& it's 
never what i thought 
saying i'm happy when i'm not 
no, i got darkness on my mind 
leaning out the frame 
when it's particulate & grey 
i'm perpendicular to my whole being 
when i lean a certain way 

saying i'm happy when i'm not 
finding roaches in the pot 
o i got darkness on my mind 

some people spend their whole lives looking 
for someone who could understand 
while meanwhile a lilac blooming 
sometimes on the driest land 
& i 
know it's been a long time coming 
i'm angry & i know that's weak 
& i'm longing out that open window 
for whatever it is i seek 

some people spend their whole lives looking 
for someone who could understand 
& while meanwhile a lilac blooming 
sometimes on the driest land 
& i 
know it's been a long time coming 
i’m angry & i know thats weak 
so i’m trying not to be so bitter 
i’m just looking at it honestly 

well i know it's been a long time coming 
i'm angry & i know that's weak 
& i'm longing out that open window 
for whatever it is i seek 
some people spend their whole lives looking 
for someone who could understand 
while meanwhile a lilac blooming 
sometimes on the driest land
