Lyrics

Darkness Copyright 2022 Mike Lacey


The World is overrun with pain
And lots of things just ain't the same

New outrage every night
Protests, shouting, picking a fight
Even friends and relatives have changed

Chorus
Don't understand it,
Spreading like malignancy
A darkness taking over
The way we used to be

It seems like everybody's mad
Just thinking different makes you bad

Those that were close before
Don't even speak anymore
Hope we get back what sanity we had

Chorus- Solo [mournful harp/mandolin]

There's crazy things that folks believe
Hostility we've never known
Some people maybe oughta leave
If they're so troubled here at home

I swear I'll never be
Like the angry souls I see
Minds that hate, hearts are made of stone


Chorus
