I See A Darkness Lyrics
Well you're my friend
(It's what you told me)
And can you see
(What's inside of me)
Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go
But can you see it's opposition
Comes a-rising up sometimes
That it's dreadful and position
Comes blacking in my mind
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness
Well I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
That we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness
(It's what you told me)
And can you see
(What's inside of me)
Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go
But can you see it's opposition
Comes a-rising up sometimes
That it's dreadful and position
Comes blacking in my mind
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
That we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness

I feel that this song is well accompanied with another text, written by the mother of the late; great singer/songwriter Nick Drake.
The Shell (A Skin Too Few)
Living grows round us like a skin to shut away the outer desolation For if we clearly mark the furthest deep we should be dead long years before the grave. But turning around within the homely shell of worry discontent and narrow joy we grow and flourish and rarely see the outside dark that would confound our eyes some break the shell… I think that there are those who push their fingers through the brittle walls and make a hole…and through this cruel slit stare out across the cinders of the world with naked eyes they look both out and end, knowing themselves and too much else beside.
