There's a darkness upon me
That's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me
What's wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

When nothing is owed deserved or expected
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected
If you're loved by someone,
You're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream
And one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage
I broke in and demanded that somebody free it

And there was a kid
with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream 'till I die
And the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There's a darkness upon you
That's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell you
What's wrong and what's right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

There was a dream
And one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage
I broke in and demanded that somebody free it

And there was a kid
With a head full of doubt
So I'll scream 'till I die
And the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There was a dream
And one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage
I broke in and demanded that somebody free it

And there was a kid
With a head full of doubt
So I'll scream 'till I die
And the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There's a darkness upon me
That's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell
What's wrong and what's right

There's a darkness upon me
That's flooded in light
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it
