Darkness By Your Head
Written by Josh Johnston & Doug Kinch
© 2021 Copyright Control

I don’t know where you think you’re going,
I can’t think for you,
But in time I might wind up knowing,
Won’t you let me through ?
Come the hour, come the time that suits me,
Last survivor breed,
No more friends, no more foes pursue me,
There’s just one thing I need,

Wear your darkness by your head,

No need to compromise your ways now,
No need for pleasing me,
I know you’re wise beyond your days now,
I’ll follow willingly,
Your shadows come and they shade to sunset,
You’ve been here before,
This dark eclipse is the closest I get
To resting at your door,

Wear your darkness by your head,

And yes I come from a long line of fools,
And endless lightweight frauds,
But I know the ropes, babe, and you know the rules,
And so I’m playing my way round the odds,

Planet mother, Goddess lover, Pagan poet, Queen,
I’m looking you straight in the eye,
And I’ll go for you moods, and your extreme
If I’m welcome in your night sky,

Wear your darkness by your head,
