nick shoulders - turn on the dark lyrics
[verse 1]
we were more than most
at the mercy of ghosts
oh can’t you tell by the way we stare?
every moment a tomb
always opened too soon
another cold breath to raise a hair
lend an ear to the ground
and hold the fire we found
i’ll be howlin’ at the crescent moon
well chew the stones of deceit
and live your dreams of defeat
oh it will all be quiet soon
[chorus]
“won’t you turn on the dark?”
i’m yelling out in fright
turn on the dark, i pray for еndless night
it was never my choicе
there ain’t an end in sight
turn on the dark ’cause i’m afraid of the light
“oh won’t you turn on the dark?”
i’m yelling out in fright
turn on the dark, i pray for endless night
it was never my choice
there ain’t an end in sight
turn on the dark ’cause i’m afraid of the light
[verse 2]
it’s the sirens and lights
electric funeral rights
another dull knife in my skin
holy hive of decay
the un+american way
it’s a constant in the tentative sin
there’s no eye on the throat
and you’re always alone
we didn’t want it, and it isn’t fair
seein’ ever i hope
we are determined to cope
we will not despair
[chorus]
“won’t you turn on the dark?”
i’m yelling out in fright
turn on the dark, i pray for endless night
it was never my choice
there ain’t an end in sight
turn on the dark ’cause i’m afraid of the light
“oh won’t you turn on the dark?”
i’m yelling out in fright
turn on the dark, i pray for endless night
it was never my choice
there ain’t an end in sight
turn on the dark ’cause i’m afraid of the light
[instrumental]
[chorus]
“won’t you turn on the dark?”
i’m yelling out in fright
turn on the dark, i pray for endless night
it was never my choice
there ain’t an end in sight
turn on the dark ’cause i’m afraid of the light
“oh won’t you turn on the dark?”
i’m yelling out in fright
turn on the dark, i pray for endless night
it was never my choice
there ain’t an end in sight
turn on the dark ’cause i’m afraid of the light
