Hello darkness my old friend, how are you?
If I am honest I hoped to avoid this
Darkness fades in but the light fights back too

Splashes of feelings in many hues flew
The brilliant bright hues that I now miss
Hello darkness my old friend, how are you?

The sadness coated in shades of deep blue
Red that drowns me in an angry abyss
Darkness fades in but the light fights back too

I can acknowledge these things are true
Feelings of melancholy reminisce
Hello darkness my old friend, how are you?

Take another pill and I’ll have no clue
Dark and light mix to create parti pris
Darkness fades in but the light fights back too

But together they create a grey hue
Grey that makes me incapable of bliss
Hello darkness my old friend, how are you?
Darkness fades in but the light fights back too
