Let The Darkness Flow

Let The Darkness Flow Lyrics & Chords

For Christopher, my muse. Merry (belated) Christmas.

(Roses are dead, purple in hue, romance was a lie, but then I met you.)

Spoken: Have you ever tried to catch a falling star with nothing but your fingertips?
I have.
Every tear, every shattered dream.
I wish you could see inside of me.
Read every thought in my mind, hear every beat of my heart.
They’re all saying the same thing:
I love you.)

What amulet has led you to my black, little heart?
What power did you cast upon my broken soul?
Nursing a grudge, I lay here waiting for your love,
Save me from the outside world, so blind, so cold.

No one sees the light I hold inside,
A candle in the darkness where my soul is hiding.
And when they do, they speak the lies
That the darkness shields me from. Confiding in me.

Chorus
Hold me love and let the darkness flow in you,
You know you want it to enfold you tightly,
Say these words and in a whisper, I say still,
“I love you and I always will.”

What shadows led you here into my catacomb heart?
What sunless life have you forced yourself to live because of me?
I see your smile, It’s calling me to breathe again,
Piece me back together and I’ll set you free.

Memories are not enough to keep you here,
And I try to convince myself I’m hearing things.
When I close my eyes I feel you through my veins,
I’ve given you my beating heart, I hope it’s not in vain.

Chorus

Spoken: (I remember the first moment I saw you, so very long ago.
Your shadow in the doorway, like an angel at the gate of heaven.
Now, I lay you in this coffin built for two.
Wake up, my love.)

I sit here waiting for my hearse to come and take me home
And I tried to convince myself that I’m worth nothing
But through your eyes you bring the life back in my own.
Cradle me in tendrils darker than the night itself, my love,
Light my way in darkness,
Stay with me

Chorus 2x
