Lyrics
My Name Is Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So we party when the Sun goes low
Imminent annihilation sound so dope
I'm not shy but I refuse to speak
Because I don't trust you to understand me
You know me as the girl who plays with fire
But this is the song I wrote you in the dark
(I hear they're calling my name)
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
(I hear they're calling my name)
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
The boys are such a bore
The girls are such a bore
I never trust the government
And pray to God for sure, yeah
I don't need to sleep anymore
That's what the drugs are for
Every city has a place like this
Underneath the bridges where the tainted kiss
Put on bullet with butterfly wings
So that I can sing along while I break things
You know me as the girl who plays with fire
But this is the song I wrote you in the dark
Oh, you know me as the girl who plays with fire
But this is the song I wrote you in the dark
(I hear they're calling my name)
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
The boys are such a bore
The girls are such a bore
I never trust the government
And pray to God for sure, yeah
I don't need to sleep anymore
That's what the drugs are for
Paradise on my right, and h-h-hell on my left
The a-a-angel of death, right behind me
Paradise on my right, and h-h-hell on my left
The a-a-angel of death, right behind me
Paradise on my right, and h-h-hell on my left
And the angel of death
She said to God
Un-fuck the world, un-fuck the world
You stupid girl, you stupid girl
Oh, oh
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
The boys are such a bore
The girls are such a bore
I never trust the government
And pray to God for sure, yeah
I'm not gonna sleep anymore
That's what the drugs are for
That's what the drugs are for
(Anymore, that's what the drugs for)
The boys are such a bore
The girls are such a bore
I never trust the government
And pray to God for sure, yeah
The boys are such a bore
The girls are such a bore
I never trust the government
And pray to God for sure, yeah
