Darkness(my friend) (acoustic)

Deeply raw, intimate acoustic singer-songwriter ballad, extremely slow around 58 BPM, One close-miked steel-string acoustic guitar, low male baritone vocal with fragile breath and occasional near-spoken delivery, Sparse fingerpicked verses, chorus opens only into fuller strummed chords, then falls back to exposed voice and guitar; slight room sound, audible string/finger noise, unpolished close recording, minor-key tenderness and heavy emotional restraint

[Verse 1] Darkness is my friend In it is where I confide All my darkest secrets You never judge me Like the others do [Chorus] You cover me When I need somewhere to hide Darkness, stay beside me Keep me safe inside [Verse 2] You are always there When I need a friend You don't turn away From anything I've said You're so easy to find You never leave my side [Chorus] You cover me When I need somewhere to hide Darkness, stay beside me Keep me safe inside [Verse 3] Darkness, please don't leave I don't know who I'd be If you weren't here beside me I might have no one left To tell the truth to No place to set it down [Bridge] I need you I need you I need you here [Final Chorus] You cover me When I need somewhere to hide Darkness, stay beside me Keep me safe inside [Outro] Stay beside me Just stay
