Lyrics

Pray for Darkness

Out in the sunshine, I can't hack it
Give me the night with a black jean jacket

Yeah
Yeah

Out in the day light, over rated
Block out the sun because I fucking hate it

Pray for darkness

Out in the sunshine, I can't hack it
Hide me away in a darkened casket

Give me pale skin
Give me dark eyes
Let the moon rise

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Sleep all day
Party every night
Never grow old
Never die

Out in the sunshine, I can't hack it
Midnight forever in a black jean jacket
When the night time is the best time
Pray for darkness
