In A Dark Place - Gary Numan

Something calls me

From a dark place

And so I pray every night

Something knows me

It whispers my name

And I’m losing my faith

I can feel it breathing

But it feels like something dead and cold

I can feel it waiting

But it waits for something in my soul

Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I’m afraid

So I beg God

For salvation, for an angel

Every night

And I ask God

Can He forgive me?

And I want to believe

I think I hear it laughing

But it sounds like my voice lost and old

I think it showed me Heaven

And now I know why I’m scared to die

Am I a fool in the dark, I don’t know

Am I the ghost in my dreams, I don’t know

Am I a shadow of life, I don’t know

Am I afraid of the truth, I don’t know

Sometimes I call out for you, and sometimes I’m afraid

So I ask for

One small mercy?

But it whispers 'Who are you?'

So I ask God

If He can save me?

He says 'It's all too dark'
