tuning; Drop D
(do chords;Em-G-;)
I've written songs in the dark
I've felt inspired in the dark
I hide myself in the dark
Used to be afraid of the dark
Those in the light know we die in the dark
(do chords;Em-G-Bm;)
There's only artificial light here
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence
G-F#m  
Fill this space, idle words
chorus;
(do chords; Em-A-G-F#m-;)
I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus, kill me inside this
A-G  
Raise me up to live again
A-G  
Like you did, like you did
(co stanza chords)
Now I am mute, despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me
And I am left to face me
I'm held accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle words
--repeat chorus--
Em-F#-G-A  
Glory shows up
Exposes us
Bbm-Bm  
I'm naked here
Forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark
DAMN THE DARK!
--repeat chorus--
