The Darkness Won
Part of me died on a Tuesday night
I've never lost this kind of fight before
I don't even recognize myself these days
I feel the weight of the heaviest hearts
3 million in particular including yours
It's the kind of pain even my momma can't take away
Cause they struck you down
And you kept getting back up, never losing track
Without a doubt
We shoulda stood taller for you
But we lost our ground
We couldn't battle all the shadows at once
And as the lights went down
I tried to find a silver line and hold on
But when I reached out that's when I knew the damage was done
The Darkness Won
Been walking round with my head held low
Didn't know I had so many enemies before
Been waking up with my fists clenched since that night
Trying hard to find that piece of me
I'm diving for forgiveness and I'm reaching deep
But I can't breathe and I'm coming up short each time
Cause they struck you down
And you kept getting back up, never losing track
Without a doubt
We shoulda sung louder for you
But we lost our ground
We couldn't battle all the shadows at once
And as the lights went down
I tried to find a silver line and hold on
But when I reached out that's when I knew the damage was done
The Darkness Won
Amazing grace this place is gone
It ain't as brave or beautiful as I thought
And I know you tried to tell us all along
I once was blind I see it now
That's how we let you down
I'm looking round at everything they stole
I have one word left and it's deplorable
Ashamed to say but I pray someday they pay the toll
I can't even look you in the eye
Cause you deserved an army that was ready to fight
And we couldn't even break your fall
Cause we lost our ground
We couldn't battle all the shadows at once
And as the lights went down
I tried to find a silver line and hold on
But when I reached out that's when I knew the damage was done
The Darkness Won
