Dark Thoughts
In a world apart, a world alone
no safe haven to call my own
I've got my friends, closer than skin
though still I'm sad, no way to win
If I could act and dance and sing
teach my voice to use it's wings
I'd fly above my minds shadow
escape this fear and finally know
my soul on fire, my heart in hurt
my body bloody, my face in the dirt
surrounded by love, concealed in fate
the world will teach me how to hate
the blood line stays, my heart is dark
alone in the shadow, in a crowd I stand stark
the sins of the father will come to pass
though I struggle against the past
Help me feel the way I should
make me see the world as good
the past seems sweet, the future wrong
my minds been gone for far too long.
