Well, you're my friend
That's what you told me
And can you see
What's inside of me?

Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
Did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got?

Well, you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live, I won't let go

Could you see its opposition
Comes rising up sometimes
That its dreadful anti-position
Comes blackin' in my mind?

And then I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
And now I'm seeing darkness
And then I'll see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
It's a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness

Well, I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives

We can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see

And then I see a darkness
Oh no, I'm seeing darkness
Now I'm seeing darkness
And then I'll see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
It's a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness
