I've written songs (in the dark) I've felt inspired (in the dark) I hide myself (in the dark) Used to be afraid (of the dark) Those in the light know we die (in the dark) There's only artificial light here My flaws hide well here I used to be afraid of cluttered noises Now I'm afraid of silence Fill this space' idle words I'm scared to death of light and silence Jesus kill me inside this Raise me up to live again Like you did' like you did Now I'm mute' despite myself All of them are gone The silence overtakes me The idle words forsake me And I am left to face me I'm held accountable for every idle word Curse the idle words I'm scared to death of light and silence Jesus kill me inside this Raise me up to live again Like you did' like you did Glory shows up' exposes us I'm naked here' forsaken here By the dark' by the dark I'm scared to death of light and silence Jesus kill me inside this Raise me up to live again Like you did' like you did
