Lyrics
The Darkside
Between what is and what?s not real
What we do and what we feel
What we say and what we mean
Between the conscious and the dream
Between the love, the hate, the pride,
What we show and what we hide
There?s a place we all deny
Between you and me,
There?s a darkside,
There?s a darkside
I looked in to your eyes I,
Saw such pretty things inside
Like a butterfly, with wings displayed
Such was the picture, that you made.
Beyond the soft and silken lashes
They fluttered by, the coloured flashes
I felt the picture that you made
I held a shiny, shiny razor blade
I saw a child in long white robes as
I walked on a long wide road and
As she came a little closer
Something made me feel I know her
She smiled with some anticipation
Made a friendly salutation
Face so bright, eyes so wide,
She sighed, ?I come to you,
From the darkside
From the darkside?
We walked along a while together
Felt so cold in the summer weather
I said ?do know which way to go??
She said ?it?s OK, it?s a one way road?
The sky grew dark and it got colder
I felt an old hand on my shoulder
I turned and I saw that the child had grown
She laughed ?I did not do this on my own,
I could not do this on my own?
?Come with me,
Come see the eternal light
Forgive me
But you?re the one who wouldn?t fight
And you?re the one who turned the light out
And you were the one, who sang the song
You were the one, who got it wrong
You were the one, who called me here
You were the one, did you get that clear?
You gave up, you gave in
You fed the child and you let it in
You are the one that you lost control with
It?s your shovel that you?re digging that hole with
And you were the one
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one
You had the rope, you made the noose
You wouldn?t let nobody cut you loose
You stuck the knife in your own back
You saw the picture and you painted it black
You said ?I won?t lie? and
You let yourself cry and
You put yourself there and
I don?t think that you don?t care yeah
And you were the one
You were the one
You were the one
You were the one
Repeat & fade
