DARKNESS by LEONARD COHEN
When I hear Leonard Cohen I feel more serene,
it's so poetic, dirty and creative. I love him.
Darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I got the darkness
From your little golden cup
I said is this contagious?
You said "just drink it up"
I've got no future
I know my days are few
The present's not so pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too
I should have seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive
Winning you was easy
But the darkness was the prize
I don't smoke no cigarette
I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had no loving yet
But that's always been your call
And nothing but the darkness
Makes any sense to me at all
I used to love the rainbow
And i used to love the view
I love the early morning
I pretend that it was new
But i caught the darkness
And i got it worse than you
I caught the darkness
I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said "just drink it up"

JUST A MOTHERFUCKING PROFUSION
"Hurt"
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
(Chorus)
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt..
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
