The Dark Songtext
von ZZ Ward

Backwoods lighter, roll that kush up
Breathe those dreams inside of me
I see fire so I look up
On these California streets

All my life, I′ve been running toward the fight

Oh lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby
'Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star
I′m not afraid of the dark

Staring at this stucco ceiling
Wondering how to break it down
If it's falling, will I feel it?
If it doesn't, will I drown?

All my life, I′ve been running toward the fight


Oh lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby
′Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star
I'm not afraid of the dark

Too many years that I′ve wasted
Now I can't slow down
I′m just so scared that I'm fading
I just can′t slow down
Nocturnal beast, born in the east
Raised in a small town
Too late to slow down, down, down

Oh lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby
'Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star
I'm not afraid of the dark

I′m not afraid of the dark
Oh lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby (when I die)
′Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star (burning like a star)
I'm not afraid of the dark (I′m not afraid of the dark)
I'm not afraid
