[Verse 1]
You showed up
In the crack between my days
Coffee cold
Staring at an empty page
Every shadow
Knows exactly where I've been
So hello to the darkness
Come on in
[Chorus]
Hello to the darkness that keeps visiting me
Pull up a chair
You know the worst of my history
You never knock
You just slip under my skin
Hello to the darkness
My unwelcome friend
Here you are again
[Verse 2]
You wear
Every name that I forget
Old shame
Like a coat that’s always wet
You say
“We both know how this will end”
So hello to the darkness
My oldest pretend friend
[Chorus]
Hello to the darkness that keeps visiting me
Pull up a chair
You know the worst of my history
You never knock
You just slip under my skin
Hello to the darkness
My unwelcome friend
Here you are again
[Bridge]
Do I call you
Or do you call me first? (yeah)
Are you comfort
Or are you just a curse?
I keep the light on
But you still get in
Sit on the edge of my bed
And ask how I’ve been
[Chorus]
Hello to the darkness that keeps visiting me
Pull up a chair
You know the worst of my history
You never knock
You just slip under my skin
Hello to the darkness
My unwelcome friend
Here you are again
Here you are again
