Lyrics of Song Daylight by David Kushner

Verse 1

Telling myself I won’t go there
Oh, but I know that I won’t care
Tryna wash away all the blood I’ve spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can’t atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by pride and guilt

Pre-Chorus

(Ooh) There’s darkness in the distance
From the way that I’ve been livin’
(Ooh) But I know I can’t resist it

Chorus

Verse 2

Tellin’ myself it’s the last time
Can you spare any mercy that you might find
If I’m down on my knees again?
Deep down, way down, Lord, I try
Try to follow your light, but it’s nighttime
Please don’t leave me in the end

Pre-Chorus

(Ooh) There’s darkness in the distance
I’m beggin’ for forgiveness
(Ooh) But I know I might resist it, oh

Chorus

Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin’ all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin’ from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
