i see a darkness

about

i recorded this live in one take in early 2017 during a difficult time in my life. it's vulnerable but i feel like i should share it as it means a lot to me

original by bonnie "prince" billy

lyrics

well you're my friend
that'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

could you see its opposition
comes rising up sometimes
that its dreadful anteposition
comes blacking in my mind

and that i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness

and did you know how much i love you
there's a hope that some how you
you can save me from this darkness

well i hope that someday buddy
we'll have peace in our lives
together or apart
alone or with our wives

and 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

oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness
oh no i see a darkness

and did you know how much i love you
there's a hope that some how you
you can save me from this darkness
