Oh Darkness, Give Me Peace

I hate the light because it only creates shadows
And I can't stand knowing what I can't see
So dim down all the lights and let the shadows take the night
Because darkness is the one thing that gives me peace

I'm holding back in disbelief from the lover and the thief
Both of whom have led me astray
I only breathe so shallow because I can't concentrate
on the words that sit right before my face
I'm holding back a thought that could separate us
Like a piece of tape that's lost its bind
Whether the weather calls for rainy or a boring sunny day
I'll only fall for you because I'm falling all the time

So when I turn off the lights I'm only being polite
Because I know you know I know the truth
Cuz even though you may look at a mirror every day
I know your body better than you
