Real Darkness

How did you get so dark With all this sunshine around? Yeah, how did you get so pale? It's coming from the inside Running through the pipes of this town Filling hearts like wind fills a sail Now family, friends and strangers Will lift your chin and go "Smile, kid, smile" until you know Until you know Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness Lock the bathroom door and I paint my face so white You never see me in the daytime Maybe you'll see me tonight My mind is always spinning Yeah, every day I'm digging a hole I'll probably climb out when I'm ready but the climbing is slow You can hold my hand through these years Or you can look away But my stuff is real, like your stuff And I'll be you someday anyway Now family, friends and strangers Will lift your chin and go "Smile, kid, smile" until you know Until you know Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness Oh, you know real darkness, real darkness, real darkness This is real darkness, real darkness, real darkness
