It used to be so simple
It was a world I understood
I didn't know what I didn't know
And life seemed pretty good

But now the darkness rises
From somewhere deep inside of me
Her power overtakes me
Can I keep this midnight from getting free?

If I can stay with the light
I know I'll be free
And I can start to be whole
I can start to be me

But instead I am struggling
With all that I see
And these friends
Mustn't see the midnight in me
The midnight in me
They mustn't see the midnight in
Me
