Analysis of Darkness blackness
Become naked before me
Peel off your clothes so I can see
No more lies only exposed skin
Pretense is replaced by the sin
Your truth is ugly underneath
Bloodstained sword pulled from its sheath
Lay back now and take me inside
In your nakedness I will hide
I will forget who I am in you
We can become one out of two
Tell me all the things you’re ashamed of
It won’t matter because I’m in love
The darkness in you pours out like night
But I hate the sun so let’s turn out the light
This is ecstasy as we scream
An unending nightmarish dream
We lie here naked in bed
Finally, nothing left unsaid
