Artist/Band: Laura Marling
Lyrics for Song: Darkness Descends
Lyrics for Album: I Speak Because I Can [2010]



You're holding bits of styrofoam

With your face painted on to your friends

You listen to them whine and moan

About everything you can't understand



Can I just say I don't fear the light

But darkness descends once more into my life



And suddenly we're all alone in silence

So I take a step away

I look up to the falling snow

As it makes its home upon my face

Well I wouldn't want to ruin something I couldn't save

The gap will keep us safe

The gap will keep us safe



Step away, get me when I'm down



And suddenly I'm five years old

And I'm just so cold I want to cry

I haul up on my gentlemen

Who have always been there in hard times

They're just not like that man of man

Who visit me from time to time



My love, I treasure you



I hear that summer's coming back

So I stretch out my back and travel along

The winter though it darkens me

It is pure and clean and all I want

I'll apologize to the ones I love

For leaving them when the sun comes up



Too bright for me, darkness descends



Oh well I'm not well again

And once more darkness it descends

The ground is falling under me

And I can't find the means to leave



Convinced that I am going mad

Oh I bury my head into his hands

So sure that I am losing faith

Oh I clear a space in his father's land



You deal with God far to young

Before you know it your life has run away
