Darkness at the Door - Editors

This is our corner of the planet

It’s the straight edges we inhabit

We ignore the darkness at the door

Turn the lights out if you hear me

Stop your screaming, just speak clearly

The lonely and the righteous

I just need friends and nothing more

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

It’s the first sign of an affliction

Familiarity of an addiction

That old friend’s a welcome sight

I like it when I see him

He covers up the world we live in

Lights a firework in my pocket

Some friends are worth the fight

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town

Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town

Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town

Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town

Darkness at the door

I must manage expectations

My idols are revelations

I hope I never meet them

This is our corner of the planet

It’s the straight edges we inhabit

Just friends and nothing more

Become the darkness at the door

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me

This old town still gets out of line

Darkness at the door to greet me
