Our Darkness - Anne Clark
Lyrics by:Anne Clark
Composed by:Anne Clark
Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me
And we talk of it with idealistic assurance
That it wouldn't tear us apart
We keep our heads above the blackened water
But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place
And you're gone now and you're gone now gone now
Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean
Through billowing smoke that swallowed the sun
You're nowhere to be seen you're nowhere to be seen seen
Do you think our desires still burn
I guess it was desires that tore us apart
There has to be passion there has to be passion passion
A passion for living sunriving and that means detachment
Everybody has a weapon to fight you with
To beat you with when you are down
There were too many defences between us
Doubting all the time fearing all the time
Doubting all the time fearing all the time
That like these urban nightmares we blacken each other's skies
When we pass the subways we try to ignore our fate there
A written threat on endless walls
Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls
Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain
It used to mingle with our tears
Then dry with the hopes that we left behind
It rains even harder now it rains even harder now now
