Take a Walk On the Darkside
Take a walk on the Darkside,
But don't be surprised...
By the madness that comes bursting out with pride.
Do you have thoughts of homicide,
Days where you want to it all by suicide,
Your inner demons know all the thoughts you try to hide.
Are there moments where you wish you were alone in the world,
Where you wish you didn't love men even if you are a girl,
Take a walk on the Darkside and see what starts to unfurl.
Do you have an Oedipal complex from Hell,
Do you fear you have no soul, that you are simply an empty shell,
Take a walk on the Darkside and find the place where such thoughts dwell.
Take a walk on the Darkside and fall down the rabbit hole,
Where your soul is as burnt and as black as coal,
Walks like that are sure to take their toll.
Take a walk on the Darkside if you must,
Talk to your demons, obey your lust,
But hold your breath when the winds begin to gust...
For every dark must have a light,
So take a deep breath and hold on tight,
And I'll see you on the other side of Dark, in the blinding light!
