Beautiful Darkness was originally released on Pots & Pans, recorded entirely using "suburban-themed" found-sounds and household objects as instruments. The version presented here is re-imagined with a sparse rock band arrangement.
lyrics
Lyrics:
In the city streets where you first found your peace with all the troubled dreams tangled at your naked feet alright
There's a terrible storm cloud around your head, it's taking over our hearts
It starts so small then the black water breaks 'round you when you lose your head like that I get so scared sometimes
There's a beautiful darkness inside your head, it's taking over our hearts
It's taking over our hearts
When you walk into the middle of the city there is no one
Though you try to keep your head above the water you are drowning
There's a beautiful darkness inside your head, it's taking over our hearts
