Darkness

The street lights are coming on
As the darkness closes in,
I have darkness in my soul
And the drink's my favourite sin.
I have buzzing in my brain
And my head begins to spin,
I must drink that booze again.

In darkness, where I live in constant fear,
Mental darkness, where I've spent eleven years.
I have problems, strange thoughts come into my head,
I have feelings that are better left unsaid.

And the drink makes me forget
All the things that make me sad,
My first marriage that broke up,
All the bad times that I've had.
Now I never see my kids,
There's just one way to kill the pain,
I must drink that booze again.

In darkness, where I lived in constant fear,
Mental darkness, where I spent seventeen years.
I've no problems, no strange thoughts now in my head,
I've no feelings, someone came and found me dead.
