Lyrics
IN THE DARK
by Joi Veer
And the night saw right thru me,
As if it never knew me.
Sheltered wherever I go,
I'm one with my shadow.
In here it's easier
To just never face it, but
The more that it dares me, well,
The tighter my eyes shut.
IN THE DARK safe where I'm hidden.
What I can't see can't hurt me.
IN THE DARK truth is forbidden.
Here I feel no pain, here I will remain.
And the wind blew right thru me,
As if it never knew me.
Straight thru the black world I know,
But close behind the past follows.
The memories strangle me.
They tighten around my neck.
So desperately I resist
The risk of a major wreck.
IN THE DARK safe where I'm hidden.
What I can't see can't hurt me.
IN THE DARK truth is forbidden.
Here I feel no pain, here I will remain.
Don't want to remember.
Don't want to take on their shit.
I barely recall the fight.
I'm not gonna let them win.
IN THE DARK safe where I'm hidden.
What I can't see can't hurt me.
IN THE DARK truth is forbidden.
Here I feel no pain, here I will remain.
