The Darkest Days Lyrics
Hazy days, broken days
Days of rain
Days of pain
In so many ways
These are the darkest days
The darkest days
The darkest days
These are the darkest days

Yeah, I lied in the arms of Mary
For a while I followed the sun
I believed in Santa Claus and fairies
Until the darkness won

One day the child became a man
There’s so much I don’t understand
Through all the changes I have undergone
I don’t recognise the stranger I’ve become

Hazy days, broken days
Days of rain
Days of pain
In so many ways
These are the darkest days
The darkest days
The darkest days
These are the darkest days

As I climb into the arena
And I take blow after blow
The people laugh just like mad hyenas
“On with this God-damned show!”

No one knows what it is I feel
Can you tell me if this is for real?
As I drift through each new passing age
It’s like I’m acting a new scene on some stage

Hazy days, broken days
Days of rain
Days of pain
In so many ways
These are the darkest days
The darkest days
The darkest days
These are the darkest days

Hazy days, broken days
Days of rain
Days of pain
In so many ways
These are the darkest days
The darkest days
The darkest days
These are the darkest days
