Dark Things

Listen on

Spotify


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
