Darkness Inside Me

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

There is a darkness

That lives inside of me

It breathes when I'm alone at night

And hums a low and steady melody

Shadows stretch across the room

They know my name without a sound

I trace their edges with my thumb

And let them pull me underground

Pre-Chorus

But morning always comes around

And drags me back to solid ground

Chorus

Carry the night

Carry the night in me

Carry the night

There is a darkness that lives inside

Verse 2

I wore it like a coat for years

Stitched with every quiet fear

It fits me better than my skin

I almost let it wear me thin

Some days the weight feels light as air

Other days it's everywhere

But I have learned to walk with it

A lantern to my shadowed steps

Pre-Chorus

And morning always comes around

So I keep my feet on solid ground

Chorus

Carry the night

Carry the night in me

Carry the night

There is a darkness that lives inside

Bridge

Not the kind you fight

Not the kind you flee

Just the kind you sit beside

And finally let it be

Drop

Let it be

Let it be

Let it be

Chorus

Carry the night

Carry the night in me

Carry the night

There is a darkness that lives inside
