Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness (2003) by Bonnie Prince Billy (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well I've been to a minor place
and I can say I like its face
if I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

well I put the shoes in line
separate the women mine
as we do what we do fine
so victorious, so benign

Well I've been to a minor place
and I can say I like its face
if I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

only take the weather warm
and the job that does me harm
since the scars of last year's storm
rest like maggots on my arm

Well I've been to a minor place
and I can say I like its face
if I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

thank you man if for the thought
that all my loving can be bought
was wisely in your gullet caught
before my loyalty you sought

Well I've been to a minor place
and I can say I like its face
if I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

o it's not a desert nor a web
nor a tomb where I lay dead
minor in a sound alone
yes a clear commanding tone

singing from my little point
and aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
if I show it how I hold it

Well you're my friend
(It's what you told me anyway)
And can you see
(What's inside of me anyway)
Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go
But can you see it's opposition
Comes rising up sometimes
That it's dreadful and position
Comes blacking in my mind

And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
That we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see

Oh no I see a darkness
Oh no I see a darkness
Oh no I see a darkness
Oh no I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness

I like to have a good time
any of my friends will tell you
but when you confront me with stupidity
I'm doubly angry at you

and I say: nip! nap! it's all a trap
bo! bis! and so was this
whoa! whoa! to haiti go,
and watch it all come down
ding! dong! a silly song
sure do say something's wrong
smile awhile, forget the bile
and watch it all come down

so I become more lively
to bury all of the ugly
whole persons sometimes
must be them bodies buried

and I say: nip! nap! it's all a trap
bo! bis! and so was this
whoa! whoa! to haiti go,
and watch it all come down
ding! dong! a silly song
sure do say something's wrong
smile awhile, forget the bile
and watch it all come down

and I toe the water
and an urchin poke me
an' I must be godfather
to anyone who'll have me

today was another day full of dread
but I never said I was afraid
dread and fear should not be confused
by dread I'm inspired, by fear I'm amused

and I say: nip! nap! it's all a trap
bo! bis! and so was this
whoa! whoa! to haiti go,
and watch it all come down
ding! dong! a silly song
sure do say something's wrong
smile awhile, forget the bile
and watch it all come down

I am here
Right here
Where god puts
None asunder
And you
In black dress and black shoe
You do
Invite me under
Go on
Go there
You can
See me aging
Stars turn
Balls burn
Coming kids
Are raging

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

La la la ...

Every terrible thing
Is a relief
Even months on end
Buried in grief
Are easy light times
Which have to end
With the coming
Of your death friend

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

La la la ...

So strap me on
And raise me high
Cause buddy I'm not
Afraid to die
But life is long
And it's tremendous
And we're glad
That you're here with us
And since we know
An end will come
It makes our living
Fun

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

Death to me
And death to you
Tell me what else can we
Do die do
Death to all
And death to each
Our own god-bottle
S'within reach

Death to everyone
Is gonna come
And it makes hosing
Much more fun

Fire burned and blew out flowers
Showing me its comely powers
Still and all it would be hours
Before I would get burned

Someone mawed and put my cock in
Corner-eyed I saw it lock in
Twisters rolled but no-one walked in
And only love was learned

Now I truly love you wholly
No-one else could e'er have stole me
And the world so far below me
For ye and me it turned

Your little feet
Your sharp teeth
The way the light hits your eyes
Your scrappy fur
Your fists
The light from the lord
That shines inside

Inside of me
Inside of me
Something is growing
Something is glowing
Someone is showing

Sing a song for the new breed
Inside of me

Your deep growl
Your high whine
The uneven way that you move
Your pure heart
Your love
The lord made you to prove something

Inside of me
Inside of me
Something is growing
Something is glowing
Someone is showing

Sing a song for the new breed
I could be right
Then you'd be right too

Tonight my eyes were hurting much
As I had strained them all day long
I don't remember waking up
My memory is not that strong
The day was spent walking about
And asking questions blindly
And silently and not without
A sense of lapsing dignity

Today I was an evil one
Who suffered dumbly having fun
Tomorrow god will make me good
If I allow her to, she would

I was found again in need
And mostly unprotected
As I had spent good time with greed
And giving was rejected

Today I was an evil one
Who suffered dumbly having fun
Tomorrow god will make me good
If I allow her to, she would

The skin of all my fingers split
Painfully receding
My hands were dry and itched and hurt
And also they were bleeding
I can fix it by withdrawing
Claim from false completeness
And by humboly allowing
God to grant me sweetness

Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

Everything was lucked and downy
What was good was up from under
Until black, that awful tender
Came and popped my sense of wonder
All at once all eyes turned at him
Leaving me an unwatched body
And it sagged, my body's rib cage
Out from under ogler's study
Black was decomposing quickly
This was found offensive to me
His disrespect for life's proprieties
Made me scared he would destroy me

Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

So I thought I'd try to cut him
Try to force him 'neath my level
The only way to equal to him
Would be hit him with a shovel
But to really rise above him
That would be the final evil
So instead I asked the sucker
If he'd care to see my rooms
And as a friend and as a comrade
And all the things that these implied
I made him leave what it was that he had
Used to keep us unallied

Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

Now black and I we are together
Fairly just inseparable
And in the terriblest of weather
Our bonds are incorruptible

Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

darling
i can stay awake all night
but i would make mistakes, alright
cause the body asks so much

sweet thing
i give you what i reach
taken what i had to teach
and re-rendered it with such
with such
with such

o, it don't rain anymore
i go outdoors
where it's fun to be
and I know you love me

i know you do
