IQ - The Darkest Hour lyrics

If I won't live a lie it's in my self defence That I remember hiding then If I'm eroding all the innocence Am I running rigid once again? And he won't hear me now in the darkest hour I'll never see him now Oh I can take the mystery in the darkest hour And he won't hurt me now If we are lost in paradise Our recollection all but gone We will make the only sacrifice For the strength to carry on In spite of everything I recognise the end And feel the scars that never heal I keep the purity, buried as I am In an effort to conceal Don't underestimate what I've retained All my souvenirs, forget-me-nots, I'll pretend all you want me to I won't believe it if you don't Burn it up again, it's here and I've Let it live through other stolen lives Save your hollow breath Feast your tired eyes You need protection as well as I Nothing any good ever came from me Thought I could run you in the ground What do I do, what kind of fool Covers you like an animal? Out of the way, I'm anyone wilder than you are Anyone who ever had a heart Wouldn't deny me Woe betide the one, not to be outdone, Who will remember all that stuff, Didn't I say it then enough? If I could let it be, I would Start it again, when does it end? I'm in there somewhere Nobody can carry me over Now the dead winds have blown With the cold rains If I should fall from your side Keep it in your mind How I tried to keep him here How I promised he'd be safe And he never said a word And he never cried Another day leads me on And I will follow Whatever it takes now, I'll do If it's over And he won't hurt me now, I know When I'm losing all the power And he won't hurt me now In this darkest hour
