I DON’T LIKE DARKNESS

[Verse 1: Mitchel Cave]
(Yuh)
Hard to stay awake, I'm so exhausted (So exhausted)
Hard to keep a friend, I guess I’m cautious (Guess I'm cautious)
Hide the pain inside, I don't endorse it (Don’t endorse it)
I can't even cry, I guess I'll force it (Oh, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus 1: Mitchel Cave]
Funny when my head caved in, I thought I'd lost it (Oh, yeah)
Might have had a date with death, I guess I dodged it (Guess I dodged it)
I don't want to feel this pain, I don't like distance (Don't like distance)
I don't wanna leave this place if you’re not with us (Not with us)

[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Please don’t leave this house, I don't like darkness
I don’t wanna see you out, I don't like darkness
Hate it when I close my eyes, I don't like darkness
And I don't wanna go outside, I don’t like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness

[Verse 2: Mitchel Cave]
(Oh, yeah)
Darkness to the light, I'll be forever gracious
Grey in your eyes, your soul must be silver-plated
Though we don't talk, I'll miss our conversations (Yuh)
I fall apart, you fill up the empty spaces

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mitchel Cave]
Funny, now the rain comes down, I sit and watch it (Sit and watch it)
Every time I hear that sound, I get nostalgic (Get nostalgic)
I don't wanna feel this pain, I don't like distance (Don't like distance)
Even if you leave this place, your spirit's with us (Yuh)

[Chorus: Mitchel Cave]
Please don't leave this house, I don't like darkness
I don't wanna see you out, I don't like darkness
Hate it when I close my eyes, I don't like darkness
And I don't wanna go outside, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
I don't like, ooh, I don't like darkness
(Yuh)

[Outro: Mitchel Cave]
I don't want to leave this place if you're not with us
(Darkness to the light, I'll be forever gracious
Grey in your eyes, your soul must be silver plated
Though we don't talk, I'll miss our conversations
I fall apart, you fill up the empty spaces)
I don't wanna leave this place if you're not with us (Yuh)
