A friend of mine once pointed out that we who deal in the "dark arts" are turely the more saintly then so called artist spewing "power of positive thinking." It's easy to write a love song every one WANTS that happy emotion but they typically don't grow from love songs they just wind up with fucked up expectations... The "dark arts" like horror films, or lyrics like these force you to look at something ugly, the thing that makes the beautiful exsist... is not the light, to much light and you go blind, no, it's the shadows in us all that give the light shape and form. Its all just a matter of balence, but when the balence is expressed with emotion that is when it becomes art. I'm sure you hate it when I apply that word to your words, but there is my compliment to your words.
