Lyrics
The Dark Side
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.
Try to keep my head held high
On the ground reaching for the sky
Balanced on the long and narrow way
But every now and narrow way
My good intentions and my dreams
Are cast aside as something
Rears its ugly head
The dark side comes to the surface
Turns me inside out
The dark side like whirlwind
Tears me up and then it spits me out
On the level pulling through
But all alone it gets to you
Slowly silently it drags you down
The dark side comes to the surface
Turns me inside out
The dark side like whirlwind
Tears me up and then it spits me out
Under the hammer
Knowing you can't turn back home
But there's no way out
Every step just leads you to the edge
The dark side comes to the surface
Turns me inside out
The dark side like whirlwind
Tears me up and then it spits me out
