When It Gets Dark

[Verse 1: Monoxide]

Something's happenin', can't explain what I'm imaginin'

Coagulatin' inside of my abdomen

It only happens when the lights talk to me

I can feel it walk through me, unholy and unruly

Clothes rippin' and it hurts feelin' my bones break

Teeth are fallin' out and I got fangs sharp as saw blades

My face extends another six inches

And my eyes can only tell you a story that's so vicious

Ears pointed and my hands are now paws

With claws sharper than razors that you use to cut across your arms

I'm at a lost when in the dark

Transformer like a Descepticon, destroy you like an Autobot

All that I got is a spot waiting in hell

With a curse until I get there, with this story to tell

And a verse so deranged you put your house up for sale

And get the fuck outta town

'Cause there's a werewolf around


[Hook]

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark


[Verse 2: The R.O.C.]

In my world its the right time, ain't no lights on

Panic soon will set in, who's in their right mind?

Not me, me head runs spiral like loose leaves

'Cause as the night air seeps my mentals give me the creeps

Little kids laugh and play

As I seek the deepest, darkest corners to contort and hide away

As the sun starts to set I'm 'bout to murder 'em all

In attempts to bury their planet to unleash the killas

Fearless, fuck yeah we got the muscle right?

See us, fuck nah we working dead night

Street lights don't exist, I'm on your world like Myers

When it's bright I retract shit like vampires

Buy it, ain't no need to, it's automatic

Sadness 'cause your girl's body done went spastic

Stash it in my cave for my sick ways

Many days of terror in these words I say


[Hook]

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark


[Verse 3: Prozak]

In search of sanctuary, it hasn't come yet

I pray to god I'll never see another sunset

For when it gets dark I bare the mark three sixes

Surrounded by candlesticks, beads, and crucifixes

Demons levitate while poltergeists is haunting me

While my conscious is constantly taunting me

Padded cells, my life's a living hell, I'm hearing church bells

When I open up the crawlspace and the body smells

Eyes roll back, I speak in tongues, bleed from gums

It's time to hit the streets with guns

Plus the seven shots laughing as the people run

Plead to be freed from these evil deeds I've done

Internal pain coincides with my violence and agony

The humanity, why does he keep stabbing me?!

But it's me that I'm stabbing, it's self-inflicted wounds

Prozak and Samhein, the end is coming soon


[Hook]

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark


[Verse 4: Jamie Madrox]

The sun fell downwards from out the sky

Bringing dark to the land just like closing your eyelids

And my, this blanket of night hath the power

To conjure the other side precisely at the witching hour

Portals in the fabric of time

Water splashed on the mirror while reciting in reverse just like a nursery rhyme:

Am I what fear not will I

Everybody wants heaven but nobody wants to die

Nobody wants hell but through it they seem enticed

Till it's pitch black, all alone and clinging to your life

My advice is to hold tight to whatever you call safe

'Cause in the dark they all patiently await

For you to slip and trip and take the wrong path

On a downward spiral, to your own aftermath

Leaving you at the heart of onyx of evil men

Till the sun falls in, it all happens again and again


[Hook]

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, I'll go right through, when it gets dark

You know you don't want me, what I'm gonna do, when it gets dark
