The Darkness

Lately it seems like everybody wants to tell me just what they think is best for me

Like I ain’t have the smarts or heart to be successful

Here all by myself, did it all by myself

Fuck, I’m all liquored up, got the room spinning now

Man, I’m thinking about how I let everyone down

Just because I denied all them 9 to 5 jobs

Because it ain’t what I want, fuck it

I’m from a place where I disgraced the sheep leaving the stable, going back to the barn

I’ll leave my tip on the table, pay your tab then I’m out

Just to slick insist I got more then y’all, and I’ll give until I’m gone

Man, I swear to god that for you to be proud

I’d need a white collar living, so I’m leaving tomorrow

Going back to the dark

I love you, but you don’t know if u can stake it out in this darkness

You’re going to have to watch me drift into the darkness

I’m going to be alone, I only know the darkness

Now I ain’t got no 10 year plan; I was asked

Cold January nights, I think a part of me just laughed

Because I was born without a map, you’ll probably never understand

I’m still finding my way like castaways towards the sand

But that’s just what my journey be, life without purchased degrees

At first it was exactly what you loved and made you flirt with me

Now I ain’t so sure if I was nothing but a burden

Be it the nights we never slept a wink, eventually you turned on me

Who knows? Been a while since I spoke

And told all y’all the truth while u insist my shit’s a joke

And I’m trying to forget and quit, my parents wonder why is it

I’m waking up at noon, but I was up ‘til 8

Trying this

I love you, but you don’t know if u can stake it out in this darkness

You’re going to have to watch me drift into the darkness

I’m going to be alone, I only know the darkness

I need you to see that if you’re going to ride with me you’ll meet the darkness

And yeah, that’s alright with me if you ain’t want this

But I could be whoever I want in the darkness
