Darkness Descends Lyrics - I Speak Because I Can - Laura Marling

You're holding bits of Styrofoam 

With your face painted on to your friends 

You listen to them whine and moan 

About everything you can't understand 

Can I just say I don't fear the light? 

But darkness descends once more into my life 

And suddenly we're all alone in silence 

So I take a step away 

I look up to the falling snow 

As it makes its home upon my face 

Well, I wouldn't want to ruin 

Something I couldn't save 

The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe 

Step away, get me when I'm down

And suddenly I'm five I've years old 

And I'm just so cold I want to cry 

I haul up on my gentlemen 

Who have always been there in hard times 

They're just not like that man of mine 

Who visit me from time to time 

My love, I treasure you 

I hear that summer's coming back 

So I stretch out my back and travel a long 

The winter though it darkens me 

It is pure and clean and all I want 

I'll apologize to the ones I love 

For leaving them when the sun comes up 

Too bright for me, darkness descends 

Oh well, I'm not well again 

And once more darkness it descends 

The ground is falling under me 

And I can't find the means to leave 

Photos 

Convinced that I am going mad 

Oh, I bury my head into his hands 

So sure that I'm losing faith 

Oh, I clear a space in his father's land 

You deal with God far too young 

Before you know it your life has run away
