In The Dark

Flyleaf · Memento Mori [2009]

I've written songs in the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

I've felt inspired in the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

I hide myself in the dark, in the dark, in the dark, in the dark

Used to be afraid of the dark, of the dark, of the dark, of the dark

Those in the light know we die in the dark, in the dark

In the dark, in the dark



There's only artificial light here

My flaws hide well here

I used to be afraid of cluttered noises

Now I'm afraid of silence



Fill this space Idle words



I'm scared to death of light and silence

Jesus kill me inside this

Raise me up to live again

Like you did, like you did.



Now I am mute despite myself

All of them are gone

The silence overtakes me

The idle words forsake me and I am left to face me

I'm held accountable

For every idle word

Curse the idle words



I'm scared to death of light and silence

Jesus kill me inside this

Raise me up to live again

Like you did, like you did.



Glory shows up

Exposes us

I'm naked here

Forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark

Damn the dark



I'm scared to death of light and silence

Jesus kill me inside this

Raise me up to live again

Like you did

Like you did.
