Jean Mazzei and Flying Venus: Music

Darkness

(Flying Venus)
2004-11-17
Jean Mazzei
(v1)
I went into MacKenzies
To water down my day
I knew I should have left then and there
But my heart got in my way

I should have said I love you
Cuz tomorrow might be too late
Instead I drank my little pill
Cuz the light was just too much to take

(chorus)
Take me down
Down into the darkness
Where I can’t feel anything
Anything but darkness,
Shine your light on me
Shine so I can see anything
anything but darkness, darkness

(v2)
My insides keep on shrinking
And still my skin’s too tight
And the days are getting far too long
And I prefer the night

It’s like I just play checkers
In your strange game of chess
I’m at the end so king me now
While I lay motionless

(chorus)
Take me down
Down into the darkness
Where I can’t feel anything
Anything but darkness,
Shine your light on me
Shine so I can see anything
anything but darkness, darkness

(short, soaring guitar instrumental)

(chorus)
Come to me
Down into the darkness
So I can see
anything but darkness
Come to me
Down into the darkness
Shine your light on me
Shine so I can see anything
anything but darkness, darkness
