Lyrics of “Used To The Darkness” by Des Rocs

I've made mistakes

The Lord struck me down

Caught in a landslide

Lost underground

I hear them gates

Swing open wide

Come close to midnight

Hell sent me down

And then my eyes got used to the darkness

And everyone that I knew

Was lost and so long forgotten after you

Now would you break before you twist the knife?

Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?

I'm too damn young to give up on the light

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

I'm just a man, I'm only flesh and bone

I can't bring it back on everything I've done

And now there's no-one else left to love

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

Sweet smell of roses

Have come at last

One fist of earth fights

To come join the rest

And then my eyes got used to the darkness

And everyone that I knew

Was lost and so long forgotten after you

Now would you break before you twist the knife?

Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?

I'm too damn young to give up on the light

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

I'm just a man, I'm only flesh and bone

I can't bring it back on everything I've done

And now there's no one else left to love

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

I got used to the darkness too

I got used to the darkness for you

I got used to the darkness too

Yes I did

Would you break before you twist the knife?

Would you take my hand and take a life?

I'm too damn young to give up on the light

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

I'm just a man, I'm only flesh and bone

I can't bring it back on everything I've done

And now there's no-one else left to love

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness

I'm used to the darkness
