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 that don't see it

When nothing is owed or 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 til I die
And the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There's a darkness upon you
That's flooded in light
And 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 that 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 til 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 til 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 me
What's wrong and what's right
There's a darkness upon me
That's flooded in light
And I'm frightened
By those that don't see it
