Ever since I was a little boy I've always been drawn to the dark,
I heard the lion sing and i realised that I'd never be king of nothing,
dust in the wind, I'd never make a mark.
Sadness overtook me, a place familiar to me,
I've been so many times since then.
It's alright to get dark sometimes, get you through to the other side
It's alright to get down sometimes, get you through to the other side
Cos we lie to ourselves sometimes, pretending everything's just fine
But even guys, they can cry sometimes, and you know thats just fine.
You better dig! Dig to find cover, dig until your skin is torn!
Keep on digging till your fingers are bloodied stumps and the bone shows.
limp haggard tendrils, barely brushing at the dirt crumbs exposed on the clay below.
It's alright to get dark sometimes, get you through to the other side
It's alright to get down sometimes, get you through to the other side
Cos we lie to ourselves sometimes, pretending everything's just fine
But even guys, they can cry sometimes, and you know thats just fine.
I created a monster, resides down below
in a realm trans-dimensional, terrible teeth exposed.
I beckon you monster, set me free.
I wish not to merely cease, but to never have been.
Rise up! and Obliterate me,
Rise up! so I can be free,
Rise up! Delete my history
I don't want to cease but to have never been.
It's alright to get dark sometimes, get you through to the other side
It's alright to get down sometimes, get you through to the other side
Cos we lie to ourselves sometimes, pretending everything's just fine
But even guys, they can cry sometimes, and you know thats just fine.
