I’m not exactly who you think I’m
I’m a villain, I’m a beast
I walk beyond your beat
I can dance, I can cry,
I can sing you a lullaby
Everyone has a darkside,
I too do
Burst into tears for what I do.
Dark within, depth that holds
Drags me in & throws on floor
I can’t lift, I can’t move
Another inch & I’m left on toe
This part of me, makes you hate me
This part of me, makes me hate myself
Alone in the room,
I cry my heart out
Ensure thyself, it’ll be over, soon by now
Soon by time, when you’ll run away
Soon, to make my part dark in your life
But, darling, if you show me your darkside
I’ll still hold on
& lighten all shaded parts of you in me
For you, I’ll be there on the edge of time
I’m no scared of dark
So on your worst in you,
Yes, I’ll hold you tight
I’ll give you rays I’ve in me
‘Cause know how it feels
To have that darkside in you,
With no-one to heal,
With no-one to heal!
