In a Dark Place Lyrics
Something calls me
From a dark place
And so I pray every night
Something knows me
It whispers my name
And I'm losing my faith
I can feel it breathing
But it feels like something dead and cold
I can feel it waiting
But it waits for something in my soul
Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I'm afraid
So I beg God
For salvation, for an angel
Every night
And I ask God
Can He forgive me?
And I want to believe
I think I hear it laughing
But it sounds like my voice lost and old
I think it showed me Heaven
And now I know why I'm scared to die
Am I a fool in the dark, I don't know
Am I the ghost in my dreams, I don't know
Am I a shadow of life, I don't know
Am I afraid of the truth, I don't know
Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I'm afraid
So I ask for
One small mercy?
But it whispers 'Who are you?'
So I ask God
If He can save me?
He says 'It's all too dark'
From a dark place
It whispers my name
And I'm losing my faith
But it feels like something dead and cold
But it waits for something in my soul
For salvation, for an angel
Every night
Can He forgive me?
And I want to believe
But it sounds like my voice lost and old
And now I know why I'm scared to die
Am I the ghost in my dreams, I don't know
Am I a shadow of life, I don't know
Am I afraid of the truth, I don't know
One small mercy?
But it whispers 'Who are you?'
If He can save me?
He says 'It's all too dark'

Cool video, cool song. This is the basic questioning faith scenario, it sounds like he's admitting / succumbing to being human.. being scared, and wanting someone to keep him safe from the things he can't control. wanting to believe. I can relate to this, it's really difficult to not want a savior when you're going through fucking hell, and you're ready to believe in the craziest superstitious bullshit because you're so desperate..
