    SOUNDTRACK: Used To The Darkness by Des Rocs

    December 15, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Handled by Romilly King

    Used To The Darkness is my favorite Des Rocs song. The first time I heard it, I knew it would make a good bookish soundtrack. I’ve been saving it for that perfect book. Handled is that book. I see the song reflecting the way Nathan’s perspectives and attitude evolved while interacting with Gray in his first Witnessing assigning.

    December 15, 2020 / No Comments

    I’ve made mistakes
    The Lord struck me down
    Caught in a landslide
    Lost underground
    I hear them gates
    Swing open wide
    Come close to midnight
    Hell sent me down

    And then my eyes got used to the darkness
    And everyone that I knew
    Was lost and so long forgotten after you

    Now would you break before you twist the knife?
    Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
    I’m too damn young to give up on the light
    I’m used to the darkness
    I’m used to the darkness
    I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
    I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
    And now there’s no-one else left to love
    I’m used to the darkness
    I’m used to the darkness

    Sweet smell of roses
    Have come at last
    One fist of earth fights
    To come join the rest

    And then my eyes got used to the darkness

    And everyone that I knew
    Was lost and so long forgotten after you

    Now would you break before you twist the knife?
    Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
    I’m too damn young to give up on the light
    I’m used to the darknessI’m used to the darkness
    I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
    I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
    And now there’s no one else left to love
    I’m used to the darkness
    I’m used to the darkness
    I got used to the darkness too

    I got used to the darkness for you
    I got used to the darkness too

    Yes I did
    Would you break before you twist the knife?

    Would you take my hand and take a life?
    I’m too damn young to give up on the light
    I’m used to the darknessI’m used to the darkness
    I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
    I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
    And now there’s no-one else left to love

    I’m used to the darkness
    I’m used to the darkness
    I’m used to the darkness

    I’m used to the darkness

    I know pain, I know dread
    Wicked veins, they turn to lead
    Tears don’t stop the fire
    It’s killing time

    Back from the dead
    See, their eyes got nothing left
    Kiss me, I am the cobra
    It’s killing time

    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die

    Am I here, am I right
    With a name that I never liked
    Rip me out the moment
    It’s killing time

    Fear in the dark
    Oh, these thoughts, yeah, they’ll never stop
    Meet my friend, the lonesome
    It’s killing time

    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die

    Ooh
    Ooh, ooh
    My love
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, whoa
    Whoa, oh, oh

    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
    Oh, let me live, oh, let me live or let me die
