The Dark

by ZZ Ward

on The Dark (2020)

[Verse 1]
Backwoods lighter, roll that kush up
Breathe those dreams inside of me
I see fire, so I look up
On these California streets

[Pre-Chorus]
All my life, I been running toward the fight

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby
'Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star
I'm not afraid of the dark

[Verse 2]
Staring at this stucco ceiling
Wondering how to break it down
If it's falling, will I feel it?
If it doesn't, will I drown?

[Pre-Chorus]
All my life, I been running toward the fight

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby
'Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star
I'm not afraid of the dark

[Bridge]
Too many years that I've wasted
Now I can't slow down
I'm just so scared that I'm fading
I just can't slow down
Nocturnal beast, born in the east
Raised in a small town
Too late to slow down, down, down

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby
'Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star
I'm not afraid of the dark

[Outro]
I'm not afraid of the dark
Oh Lord, when I die
Make my life a lullaby (When I die)
'Til that long goodnight
Keep my fire burning like a star (Burning like a star)
I'm not afraid of the dark (I'm not afraid of the dark)
I'm not afraid
