Flyleaf - In The Dark Lyrics

Artist: Flyleaf

Album: Memento Mori

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Sameer Bhattacharya, James Culpepper, Jared Hartmann, Mark T. Lewis, Lacey Nicole Mosley, Kirkpatrick Seals

I've written songs in the dark
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
I've felt inspired in the dark
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark

I hide myself in the dark
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
Used to be afraid of the dark
Of the dark, of the dark, of the dark
Those in the light know we die in the dark
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark

There's only artificial light here
My flaws hide well here
I used to be afraid of cluttered noises
Now I'm afraid of silence

Fill this space idle words
I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like You did, like You did

Now I am mute despite myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes me
The idle words forsake me
And I am left to face me

I'm held accountable for every idle word
Curse the idle words

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like You did, like You did

Glory shows up
Exposes us, I'm naked here
Forsaken here
By the dark, by the dark, by the dark

I'm scared to death of light and silence
Jesus kill me in side this
Raise me up to live again
Like You did, like You did

    she is just saying that its not glory to be in the dark and that she hates the evil and the silence

  • Anonymous

    That's what I thought she said to. Even if she did, I wouldn't consider it swearing. Damning something to hell is completely different then just saying damn.

  • Anonymous

    Yes, I'm pretty sure she did.
    That's what I heard as well.
    It striked me as odd since they are a Christian band, kind of curious about that now.
    I loved the song though.

  • Anonymous

    at around 3:05 or 3:06 if I'm hearing it right...Lacey screams 'damn the dark!' (or) 'damn this dark!'
    after 'forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark'

    correct me if I'm wrong?
