Analysis of Now that the Darkness Calls
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
Looking deep inside
Is where I swallowed my pride?
I'm drowning inside of my own past
Misery is my friend
I'm so glad to see to see you again
I'm afraid t close my eyes at night
Because this life is so over whelming for me
Then I stop and look around
And I watch everything change around me
Constantly shifting
And quite memorizing
Now that the Darkness calls
There’s nothing to fear
I'll always be near
Nothing can keep me away from you
Don't let the darkness consume you
I guess you thought I would just sit here
And wait for you to make up your mind
If you want to take my life or not
Now that the Darkness Calls
