I’m the venom in your bite
I’m the darkness in your light
The blind spot in your sight
I’m the wrong and I’m the right
I’m a whisper to your scream
The nightmare in your dream
The curdle in the cream
The black sheep of the team
I’m the worm under stone
The gristle on the bone
I’m fear when you’re alone
The cheer before the groan
If you see me walking
Down the dark side of the street
Throw a little sunshine at me
Let me feel it’s heat
Fire a word or call my name
Let me hear you speak
Embrace me with your outstretched arms
Kiss me I am weak
I am fading I’m sliding through
The cracks beneath your feet
