living in darkness lyrics

lyrics Mike P., music Mike P. + James L.)

I've got no reason to be like everybody else
Look at me now
So dumb, so happy
I like things that bite
Things that creep at night
Everybody's asking me what it's like down there
The concrete floor is cold

The walls are bare
(chorus)
I feel safest being alone
Living in darkness
Living in a world of my own

I'm so selfish doing everything by myself
I feel so cold
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
I wanna live to be a couple thousand years old
I thought I knew somebody that I could trust

Now I'm not so sure
I feel safest being alone
(chorus)
Living in darkness
Living in a world of my own
One whole lifetime I'm never gonna last

And all these girls I know out turning boys into men
I know I am never going down again
Unless I live until dying is a thing of the past

(chorus)
Never again
Living in darkness
Living in a world of my own
I feel safest being alone
