lyrics

Oh, baby I don't know why you keep coming around here
Stick to your own backyard where you can't hear me cry
Tell me just what I'm missing
You ain't been kissing my tears away
And my boogeyman is real
He sings me lullabies

I've been all hung up
Livin' half alive
Travelin' the shadows of my own hindsight
Take my hand, baby
Hold on tight
You know we're gonna make it right

Darkness is my only candle
Runnin' through the streets
Hiding in the night
Loneliness can't see its shadow
Love's a madman ready to fight

Just like stardust falls from a dying sky to ground
Well my silence sighs inside my soul of sound
Won't you please awaken me from this waking sleep I'm drowning in?
Banshee screams
Black stars rise from the crowd

I've been all hung up
Livin' half alive
Travelin' the shadows of my own hindsight
Take my hand, baby
Hold on tight
You know we're gonna cross that line

Darkness is my only candle
Runnin' through the streets
Hiding in the night
Loneliness can't see its shadow
Love's a madman ready to fight

War —
What's it for?

No, I can't fade away

Darkness is my only candle
Runnin' through the streets
Hiding in the night
Loneliness can't see its shadow
Love's a madman ready to fight

Darkness is my only candle
Runnin' through the streets
Hiding in the night
Loneliness can't see his shadow
Love's a madman ready to fight
