Darkness
Acid Pauli feat. Johnny Cash Lyrics

Well, you're my friend
I consider you my friend

And can you see
Do you understand or perceive

Many times we've been out drinking
We have spent a lot of time together socially, possibly consuming alcohol

Many times we've shared our thoughts
We have opened up and shared our ideas and emotions with each other frequently

But did you ever, ever notice
Have you ever paid attention to or acknowledged

The kind of thoughts I got?
My thought patterns and mindset

Well, you know I have a love
It is known that I possess a love

A love for everyone I know
I feel affection and care for all the people I am acquainted with

And you know I have a drive
It is also known that I possess a strong motivation and determination

To live, I won't let go
I will not give up on living

But can you see this opposition
Are you able to perceive the struggle and conflicting feelings

Comes rising up sometimes?
That arise within me at times?

That it's dreadful imposition
These feelings are an oppressive burden

Comes blacking in my mind
They consume and overwhelm my thoughts

And then I see a darkness
And then I experience a sense of gloom and despair

And then I see a darkness
And then I perceive a negative and bleak outlook

And then I see a darkness
And then I notice a feeling of hopelessness

And then I see a darkness
And then I encounter a mood of darkness

Did you know how much I love you?
Do you realize how deep my affection for you is?

Is a hope that somehow you
I have a wish and expectation that you in some way

Can save me from this darkness
Can rescue me from this overwhelming negative mindset

Well, I hope that someday, buddy
I have a positive outlook and ambition that someday, my friend

We have peace in our lives
We experience tranquility and harmony in our existence

Together or apart
Whether we are together or not

Alone or with our wives
Whether we are alone or accompanied by our spouses

And we can stop our whoring
We can put an end to making selfish, immoral decisions

And pull the smiles inside
We can conceal and suppress our true emotions and feelings

And light it up forever
And create a positive and uplifting atmosphere that lasts eternally

And never go to sleep
And never allow ourselves to rest or become content

My best unbeaten brother
My beloved and undefeated sibling

This isn't all I see
This is not the only thing I envision or perceive

Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I encounter a feeling of hopelessness and despair

Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I notice a sense of negativity and bleakness

Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I experience a mood of darkness and gloom

Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I perceive an overwhelming negative outlook

Did you know how much I love you?
Do you realize how strongly I feel affection for you?

Is a hope that somehow you
I have a wish and expectation that you in some way

Can save me from this darkness
Can rescue me from this overwhelming negative mood
