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 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 Or 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 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 Or 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 Or 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
