Hello there, darkness
you're the constant in my life
never failing, you've come back to me;
back-stabbed by your knife
everytime you leave,
you promise to never come again
you've caught me in your lie
i'm as gullible as i've always been

Hello again, darkness
i am your follower, simply your slave
you wrap me in your comforting lies
your work is for what i was made
i can feel your protection as i sleep
you're warmth is still an old friend
a creature of the night you've made me
i wait; as upon the world you descend

At your service, darkness
you provide for me a shelter to hide
keeping my secrets from the world
you're still the only one to take my side
still, i remain your loyal servant
telling myself i'm glad to repay this debt
of this addicting cold solace
to memories i can only wish to forget

I am here, darkness
just as you always were for me
right here waiting for your command
just say what it may be
i can't wait forever though;
just put my body in a bag
the end is near, my old friend
just let me choke on my pain and gag

So long, darkness
i'm sick of your cruel heartless convictions
i must leave before my life slips away
i can only take so much of your affliction
So long, darkness
at least, until we meet again
we both know i'll come running back
i know you understand my old friend
