==================
The Darkness in Me
==================

I don't know why I act the way I do
Like I've not got a single thing to lose
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
I guess that's just the darkness in me
I'm alive and most no longer are
and sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad
At where this road I'm heading down might lead
I guess that's just the darkness in me
Chorus:
The urge to run
the restlessness
The heart of stone
I seem to have
The things I've done
for foolish greed
the me that's never ever seen
the face that's in the mirror and I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the darkness in me

Repeat Chorus

Albus, I know there's times you must have thought
There's not a line you've drawn I've not crossed
But you've set your mind to see my salvation through
I guess that's just the darkness in you

We'll win and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the darkness in us all
