Darkness Song - Asaf Avidan

I’ve learned to hold the line

And to never look away

I’ve taught myself the lies

That will get me through the day

And nothing ever lasts

But the pain that circulates

Through the chasms of our past

And the breaths we dare to take

Oh Mama, can’t you see?

I’ve got a darkness shining through me

I’ve got a darkness shining through me

I’ve learned to hold the weight

Of this mirror to the sky

But I’ve taught myself the sense

Of never asking why

Nothing ever lasts

But the blackness that dilates

Through the curtains of our pasts

To the steps we want to take

Oh Mama, can’t you see?

I’ve got a darkness shining through me

I’ve got a darkness shining through me

Oh Mama, can’t you see?

I’ve got a darkness shining through me

I’ve got a darkness shining through me
