Mac McCaughan – Real Darkness lyrics
How did you get so dark
With all this sunshine around?
Yeah, how did you get so pale?
It's coming from the inside
Running through the pipes of this town
Filling hearts like wind fills a sail

Now family, friends and strangers
Will lift your chin and go
"Smile, kid, smile" until you know
Until you know
Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness
Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness

Lock the bathroom door and I paint my face so white
You never see me in the daytime
Maybe you'll see me tonight
My mind is always spinning
Yeah, every day I'm digging a hole
I'll probably climb out when I'm ready but the climbing is slow
You can hold my hand through these years
Or you can look away
But my stuff is real, like your stuff
And I'll be you someday anyway

Now family, friends and strangers
Will lift your chin and go
"Smile, kid, smile" until you know
Until you know
Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness
Real darkness, real darkness, real darkness

Oh, you know real darkness, real darkness, real darkness
This is real darkness, real darkness, real darkness
