The Darkness Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This night is young
Feels like I've been here forever
I want to stop, ooh
Drinking too much
My head has been in hell forever
I gotta give up, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Got girlfriends, boyfriends
Best dress on
Cocaine, ice cubes
Platinum blondes
Empty glasses, black Patron
But somehow I don't feel at home

[Chorus]
The city's alive
The lights are so bright
But inside my mind
I'm in the darkness
My friends have all gone
I'm here on my own
I'm walking alone through the darkness

[Post-Chorus]
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the, in the
In the darkness
[Verse 2]
Smoke fades quickly
Yeah, I'm sick and tired of all the sadness
When I'm tryna get down
Cars pass through me
But I'm lost inside all the madness
No, I can't hear a sound, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Got on the guest list with plus one
Six AM, I see the sun
Heart is heavy, weights are turned
I hope my limousine will come

[Chorus]
The city's alive
The lights are so bright
But inside my mind
I'm in the darkness
My friends have all gone
I'm here on my own
I'm walking alone through the darkness

[Post-Chorus]
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
In the darkness
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the, in the
In the darkness
[Outro]
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
In the darkness
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the
I am walking alone in the, in the
In the darkness
