Lyrics

Darker

[Verse 1]

Bad snow

Freeze my throat

And numbs my soul

Eats me whole to pick me up

That's where you know

Free to go

You caught a jones

Makes me old before I'm old

[Chorus]

It's all you love

Deep inside I know, you love

The less the I seem to know

You love

[Verse 2]

Bad snow

Numbs my throat

And leaves me dry, leaves me dry

Leaves me barely whole

Down to the wire

Rock gone cold

You caught a cold

Like so many times before

[Chorus]

It's all you love

Deep inside I go, you love

The less the I seem to know

You love

[Outro]

Here now, deep inside I go

Here now
