Our Darkness Lyrics - Clark Anne

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me 

And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance 

That it wouldn't tear us apart 

We'd keep our heads above the blackened water 

But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place 

And you're gone now 

Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean 

Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun 

You're nowhere to be seen 

Do you think our desires still burn 

I guess it was desires that tore us apart 

There has to be passion 

A passion for living, surviving 

And that means detachment 

Every-body has a weapon to fight you with 

To beat you with when you are down 

There were too many defence between us 

Doubting all the time 

Fearinf all the time 

Doubting all the time 

Fearinf all the time 

That like these urban nightmares 

We'd blacken each other skies 

When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there 

Of written threats on endless walls 

Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls 

Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain 

It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes 

That we left behind 

It rains even harder now .
