because of the times to sit all alone and relish it to name it, to taste it know you can't erase it i faced the dark within me and tried to conquer but then relinquised my grip and gave in child of the underworld, born usunder, cut my teeth on sin
the girl who ended up with dark put in her name i'm not to blame, it was always going to be the same only thing to count on or hope for is knowing it will change a catalsyt, hurricane, the wildfire i became
sat alone in the dark with glowing embers and the flick spark of the contemplative ciggarette lit know that this is harmful, relishing my lasting vice look what happened when i tried to be nice don't think twice, grab the sharpest knife whet the steel edge to the keenest of blade didn't think i'd let the night fade to day sat alone in the night the girl with dark in her name
you see the evil in me and i know that's what you covet the capacity for my violent harm, i know you love it somewhere deep inside i have mercy but i quell it stalk the alleys late at night, fearless in the dark there's the night jasmine again can you smell it had dreams of bloodshed, and nightmares of love prayed to the unknown forces, below or above that could think to grip, have a handle or a say on the fate of a good girl gone bad, born on a good friday fated to dance with ghosts, got given dark as a name chose to dance in graveyards and places nobody plays face paler than moonlight, hair like the nightsky spit the pain out, survivor, leader of the overthrown a voice for the nameless, the initial john and jane does who turned out to be somebodys lover, someones mother somebody's son or daughter, another cursed overdose the ranks of departed soldiers swells and grows i've got dark in my name, but i'm still alive cos i chose my fate to stay awake and tell the story that nobody knows
to name it, to taste it
know you can't erase it
i faced the dark within me and tried to conquer
but then relinquised my grip and gave in
child of the underworld, born usunder, cut my teeth on sin
the girl who ended up with dark put in her name
i'm not to blame, it was always going to be the same
only thing to count on or hope for is knowing it will change
a catalsyt, hurricane, the wildfire i became
sat alone in the dark with glowing embers and the flick
spark of the contemplative ciggarette lit
know that this is harmful, relishing my lasting vice
look what happened when i tried to be nice
don't think twice, grab the sharpest knife
whet the steel edge to the keenest of blade
didn't think i'd let the night fade to day
sat alone in the night the girl with dark in her name
you see the evil in me and i know that's what you covet
the capacity for my violent harm, i know you love it
somewhere deep inside i have mercy but i quell it
stalk the alleys late at night, fearless in the dark
there's the night jasmine again can you smell it
had dreams of bloodshed, and nightmares of love
prayed to the unknown forces, below or above
that could think to grip, have a handle or a say
on the fate of a good girl gone bad, born on a good friday
fated to dance with ghosts, got given dark as a name
chose to dance in graveyards and places nobody plays
face paler than moonlight, hair like the nightsky
spit the pain out, survivor, leader of the overthrown
a voice for the nameless, the initial john and jane does
who turned out to be somebodys lover, someones mother
somebody's son or daughter, another cursed overdose
the ranks of departed soldiers swells and grows
i've got dark in my name, but i'm still alive cos i chose
my fate to stay awake and tell the story that nobody knows
