Against The Darkness Lyrics - Singles - Annaakana

This is a song for my brother 

I know sometimes you look ahead and all you see is dooming blackness 

You're lost in the madness, torn apart by the sadness 

You feel like you see the world through these rose-colored glasses 

Bat your lashes and bow down to the will of the masses 

I want you to know that you can resurrect from these ashes 

Don't listen to those dumbasses, they're all fucking fascists 

In five years they'll be begging for backstage passes 

We'll get there, I swear, it just takes a little practice 

I wish I was the one who found her hanging in the closet 

To spare you the nightmares you carry around in your pocket 

I'm concerned that she's burned herself in your eye sockets 

And as a result, they've turned into two broken faucets 

Sometimes I feel like it's all my fault that she's dead 

Try to untangle the web that's inside of my head 

Tell myself that there are better days lying ahead 

But I've failed you both as a sister instead 

(Chorus) 

It's you and me 

Against the dark things 

In the night 

Who knows what it brings 

I'm trying to pick up the pieces through this raging hangover 

I don't know if I can do it alone, much less sober 

Been trying way too long to keep my composure 

& if I can be honest with you, full non-disclosure 

Sometimes I scream and feel like no one hears the sound 

I've come to find that there's no God when I turn around 

And now I'm all alone, washed up and ready to drown 

But no! Get up, motherfucker, pick yourself up off the ground 

Even if you can't find a higher purpose life is worth it 

It hurts and it stings and we bleed and we curse it 

But promise me we'll keep on living, that we will never give in 

She put on a necklace of rope, but we gotta be forgiving 

Here we are, broken hearted survivors of suicide 

She's lost star dust, but we're still waking up alive 

And now we've come to a point, and it's time to decide 

Are we gonna lay down and die, or will we breathe and revive? 

(Chorus) 

So stand up, bro, take the mic and hit that stage 

Speak up, don't shake, don't be afraid 

You've only got one chance, today's your day 

Make the choice, kid, are you gonna kill it or fade? 

Now take a deep breath, one step forward 

Don't you fear death, cause we all move toward 

The end, so take this life by the moment 

Hold it in your hands and you motherfucking own it! 

Chase every dream you've ever had, no regrets 

We're all that's left, don't you ever let yourself forget 

I know that at times it may be hard to accept 

I mean, who knows how many nights we wept instead of slept? 

When our monsters, nightmares and the blackness met 

And we're haunted by the blame of her last breath 

When you start to feel real low bro, don't fret 

Cause the only debt we got is death 

(Chorus) 

Just know, you'll hate life at times regardless 

Cursing the surrounding bitter and heartless 

At that moment when you start to feel the apartness 

Remember, it's you and me against the darkness 

Against the darkness... 

Against the darkness.... 

Against the darkness.... 

It's you and me... 

Kristina Marie Akana. 

13 years old. Lost to suicide. 

The itsy bitsy spider walked up the water spout 

Out came the rain and washed the spider out 

But instead of the sun drying up the rain 

The spider decided that she couldn't take the pain 

So she drowned in the floods that came ahead 

And now the itsy bitsy spider's dead 

Dead.
