new friend

I've got a new friend
It's harrowing how he never leaves my side
We talk every night
I've got a new friend
Sometimes he seems like an echo in my mind
Something isn't right

But I'm learning to live with it, like it for not
I couldn't tear us apart so I'm living with the dark
Everyday living with the dark
My new friend

Me and the dark, we've been through it
Tried to leave but it's pulling
Bite my ends 'till they ruined
It's breaking me down

I thought we were in harmony
But now it is messing with the melody
I'm falling flat on my face when I deserve grace
And I can't get no space

But I'm learning to live with it like it or not
I couldn't tear us apart so I'm living with the dark
Everyday living in the dark
My new friend
And it's something that's followed me all of my life
Nobody knows what it's like for me living with the dark
Every night living with the dark
My new friend

I'm hanging by a thread
I think it wants me dead
These voices creeping
So deceiving
Never leaving
GET OUT OF MY HEAD

I've been learning to live with it all of my life
I couldn't keep up the fight so I'm living with the dark
Every night living with the dark
My new friend
