The Dark

from Fuzzy Dice by Schweitzer

lyrics

Sometimes I see a door that’s closed
That walks around in human clothes
and more and more, no one can find the key

And I wonder as I walk on by,
is anything behind their eyes?
The painted, varnished wood is all I see

And I’ve been traveling forever, and there’s no road back
Oh, it feels like I may never get the things I lack
And the music only helps to hold the silence back
But the dark keeps closing in

“Well, we’re here to help,” I hear them say
But what they do says, “go away,
you’ll never find the help you really need.”

And the law just helps to turn the screws,
unless, of course, you’re wealthy too,
you’ll never find the space to simply be

On, a drowning man may kill you reaching for the air
And a few insane may kill you
just because you’re dark or fair
But I’ll never understand the ones
with graphite knives and paper guns
and red tape hearts that beat but just don’t care...

And I’ve been traveling forever, and there’s no road back
And it feels like I may never get the things I lack
And the music only helps to hold the silence back
But the dark keeps closing in

The dark keeps closing in
