Dark Things

Lyrics

When I go downtown, I try to be found, when they ask, “what do you want?” I say “whatever you’ve got” Because dark things are what you need when you’ve got big dreams, I don’t know where I’m going, but I know what’s best for me My biggest fault was I did not listen when wisemen said, “you better listen,” I don’t know what is missing in this haze of ecstasy Dark things are what you’ll see when you trust strange candy, I don’t know where I’m going, I hope I know what’s best for me Tell me I don’t deserve to have what will make me happy, even if I find the cure for what has poisoned me Dark things are what you’ll scream when you’ve got bad dreams, I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know what’s best for me Dark things are what you’ll feel when you’re lost in your dreams voices telling me where I’m going, maybe Heaven is best for me Dark things are what you’ll be when you love your enemy, I wonder where I was supposed to be, I wonder what was best for me
