Always Chasing Darkness

Depression is experienced by so many, yet it’s so often taboo to talk about. Many suffer in silence, locked away in virtual or actual darkness. It can feel like that darkness is constantly chasing after us, or conversely that we want to disappear into its safety. It’s only through the helpful light of others or spirituality that the window to normality can once again be opened.

Lyrics

Always Chasing Darkness
Disconnected nights the moonlight stands at bay
Shutters drawn upon the words I cannot say
Seems the light of day will never be here
But dawn is breaking time to face another fear

And it’s OK
It’s time to live another day
Yeah it’s alright
I’ll push past the lonely night
With your light
With your light
With your light

Seems like I’m always chasing darkness
A shadow I can’t see
Always chasing darkness
Or is it chasing me
Always chasing darkness
A shadow I can’t see
Always chasing darkness
Or is it chasing…

Often all I need is the comfort of this room
Lying in the dark just me in my cocoon
Melancholy moments, water from my eyes
A sting of shame descends, a voice that I despise

But it’s OK
It’s time to live another day
Yeah it’s alright
I can make it through night
With your light
With your light
With your light

Seems like I’m always chasing darkness
A shadow I can’t see
Always chasing darkness
Or is it chasing me?

Always chasing darkness
A shadow I can’t see
Always chasing darkness
Or is it chasing me

Seems like I’m always chasing darkness
A shadow I can’t see
Always chasing darkness
Or is it chasing me?

Oh I’m always chasing darkness
A shadow I can’t see
Always chasing darkness
Or is it chasing…
Is it chasing me (always chasing darkness, a shadow I can’t see)
Is it chasing me (always chasing darkness)
Let me be free
