In the beginning there was darkness There was no mercy, it was heartless Sometimes to survive this life you gotta learn to run Stay ahead of the night Some days when the fire inside dies You gotta find your mark Cheat the light Banish darkness
I was a kid I was petrified I couldn't look in my daddy's eyes I'd count 'em down Every drink he took And when the bad guy arrived I would just hide I was a man Twenty three years old The first time I ever told a soul About the violence inside my home I didn't even cry It's how I survived
I never meant to complicate things I never meant to disappear in my mind I never meant to swallow my heart But darkness travels faster than the speed of love I tried to run but I couldn't escape it Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant Got to chase the light Gotta do what you can to survive To survive I survived I survived I survived
Ooh hoo yeah (x3)
I was a child I was cursed and damned Called me a name I didn't understand Made me ashamed of who I am So I killed that side A part of me died
I met a man via pseudonym Said my bravado wasn't fooling him He saw a fracture in my Kingdom wall He said strength be damned Let it fall
I never meant to complicate things I never meant to disappear in my mind I never meant to swallow my heart But darkness travels faster than the speed of love
I tried to run but I couldn't escape it Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant Got to chase the light Gotta do what you can to survive To survive I survived I survived I survived
Ooh hoo yeah (x3)
Darkness and light are joy adjacent Both cannot exist in the same equation Shadows are bigger than the fools who make them Darkness travels faster than the speed of love
You can try to run but you can't escape it Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant Open up your heart to instantaneous light To light To light To light To light
