Blackout

You were watching your favorite show When the TV died The biggest power-cut in your neighbourhood since 1989 A blackout in the center of town But down in the suburbs where it first went out They've been asking, asking the question Are you afraid of the darkness? Are you afraid of the darkness? I'm afraid of the darkness too In the hospital On the critical ward Too long a breath between The break and the backup of a life support One system failure and it stopped her heart One power vacuum and we're coming apart We should be asking, asking the question Are you afraid of the darkness? Are you afraid of the darkness? I'm afraid of the darkness too We're all caught in the blackout Trying to feel our way out Wait for the morning I'll be waiting for you Meet me in the middle Meet me in the middle Bring a burning candle with you Meet me in the middle Meet me in the middle I will be there waiting for you I was in my comfort zone I was singing selfish songs I've been taking for granted everyone understood how easy trouble comes But it's not enough anymore We can't turn just around and close the door on the world It's asking uneasy questions We should be asking ourselves uneasy questions Are you afraid of the darkness? Are you afraid of the darkness? I'm afraid of the darkness too We're all caught in a blackout Trying to feel our way out Wait for the morning I'll be waiting for you Meet me in the middle Meet me in the middle Bring a burning candle with you Meet me in the middle Meet me in the middle I will be there waiting for you Meet me in the middle Meet me in the middle Bring a burning candle with you Meet me in the middle --- Blackout - Frank Turner
