DARKNESS SWALLOWED THE DAYLIGHT

"my mind is so dark it would shock you"

In DARKNESS SWALLOWED THE DAYLIGHT, Codie talks about his struggles with his depression and schizophrenia. We can hear that Codie is on the edge of tears as he barely manages to get the words out of his mouth. Somewhere near the beginning of the song the perspective actually switches from Codie to the many people he has locked under his house. We know this because of the lyrics, "It was like there was no light at the end of a tunnel,I look around and I se- and I saw nothin' but darkness,Wonder where the light at." We also know this because Codie has confirmed it was true and has already done his time in the clink for it.

Lyrics
Yo, listen,

There's a bunch of darkness in my head

And when I look out the window, it seems like I'm seeing the same thing,

I remember days when I was barely sleeping,

Trying to figh- fight all my demons,

But that was to challengin'

It was like there was no light at the end of a tunnel,

I look around and I se- and I saw nothin' but darkness,

Wonder where the light at,

And I was still tryna find the light at the end of a tunnel- of that tunnel,

But I couldn't and that's probably cause' darkness swallowed the daylight,

And there was pr- and there was already darkness in my mind, so it wasn't much different,

People swear to God that I'm still the same,

But I swear to God I've changed,

I always thought I had to change who I was cause' I never th- wanted to be the same,

I was surrounded by darkness so I couldn't tell who wa- who was by my side and who wasn't

That's probably because darkness swallowed the daylight,

And there was already darkness in my mind, so it wasn't much different,

My mind is dark is s- my mind is so dark it would shock you,

That's why I keep to myself constantly,

Felt like I was always being backed into a corner til' I barely had any patience,

Felt like I was all alone, and there was nobody there,

Little did I realize I had so many people in my corner,

That's probably cause' darkness swallowed the daylight

And there was already darkness in my mind so it wasn't much different,

To this day I feel like music is my energy,

Rather pick up a pen than sit in the office,

I've been- I've always been that way,

But I'm not who I was a year ago,
