The dark side

[Hook - SLOW, low voice] I’m walking in the dark side, yeah I’m losing light Every door is closing, nothing feels right Smiling in the pain, hiding from the night My soul is on the dark side, and I can’t fight [Verse 1 - SLOW, pick up slightly] Used to see the sunshine, now it’s black and grey [SLOW] People talk behind me, they just go away [SLOW] Heart is full of shadows, demons in my brain [FASTEN UP] Crying in the silence, drowning in the rain [FASTEN UP] I got highs that lied, and lows that stayed [SLOW] Trust got buried deep where the cold winds fade [SLOW] Gaborone nights cold, but my chest colder [FASTEN UP] Carrying this weight, making my shoulders older [FASTEN UP, HARD] [Hook - SLOW, hurt] I’m walking in the dark side, yeah I’m losing light Every door is closing, nothing feels right Smiling in the pain, hiding from the night My soul is on the dark side, and I can’t fight [Verse 2 - SLOW, then BUILD] Looked up to the sky, but the stars went dead [SLOW] Every prayer I said, got lost in my head [SLOW] I was chasing peace, but I found the war [FASTEN UP] Knocking on my heart, but I can’t anymore [FASTEN UP] If this is the end, then I’m ready now [SLOW] If this is my fall, then I take a bow [SLOW] Dark side got me, but I still believe [FASTEN UP, HOLD NOTE] One day I’ll rise from the ground I grieve [FASTEN UP, HOLD NOTE] [Hook - SLOW, fade out] I’m walking in the dark side, yeah I’m losing light Every door is closing, nothing feels right Smiling in the pain, hiding from the night My soul is on the dark side, and I can’t fight
