Lyrics

Dear Darkness, my dear sweet darkness
The times we had
So many scars across this heart
One cannot forget
Dear Darkness, no really they’ve got pictures of all kinds
Up in the clouds, some printed out
All burned into my mind

Dear Darkness, You’re always here
And like a soft old shirt
I get wrapped up in your arms, hey it’s at least familiar
But Dear Darkness, as these days go by, bad news is all I see
I start to wonder if it’s this old shirt
That’s wearing me

Oh oh Dear Darkness, I guess the point is
I’ll be moving on
I suppose I’ll see you but let’s hope it’s not too soon
Dear Darkness, you can’t be the only lonely post I lean on
Dear Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, find yourself another friend

Dear Darkness, now these disguises offend us both
It’s just beneath you, oh I release you
To carry on your work
Dear Darkness, there’s just not much else that I have left to say
I’ll see you when I see you, from afar if that’s okay

Oh oh Dear Darkness, I guess the point is
I’ll be moving on
I suppose I’ll see you but let’s hope it’s not too soon
Dear Darkness, you can’t be the only lonely post I lean on
Oh Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, find yourself another

Dear Darkness, I guess the point is
I’ll be moving on
I suppose I’ll see you but let’s hope it’s not too soon
Dear Darkness, you can’t be the only lonely post I lean on
Oh Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, I don’t really need to see you ever again
Dear Darkness, find yourself another friend

Epitaph Records is an artist-first indie label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist, Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights helped launch the 90s punk explosion. Along the way, Epitaph has grown and evolved creatively while sticking to its mission of helping real artists make great recordings on their own terms.
