[Verse 1] I kept the door shut Still you came in Black in my chest Fighting my skin I hold the match I hold the smoke I bite my tongue Till it lets go [Pre-Chorus] You see the crack Then you see gold You feel the heat You feel it cold I shake your hand Then break the line I wear the bruise Like it is mine [Chorus] Cause I am the darkness And the light inside it Cause I am the darkness The wound and the riot The silence and violence The silence and violence [Verse 2] I walk the room Like I own pain Every hard step Drips your name I take the hit Then take the crown I burn it down And stand in the sound [Pre-Chorus] You see the crack Then you see gold You feel the heat You feel it cold I shake your hand Then break the line I wear the bruise Like it is mine [Chorus] Cause I am the darkness And the light inside it Cause I am the darkness The wound and the riot The silence and violence The silence and violence [Bridge] If you come close Bring your nerve I am the knife I am the nerve Pull me apart I still remain Ash in my mouth Fire in my name [Chorus] Cause I am the darkness And the light inside it Cause I am the darkness The wound and the riot The silence and violence The silence and violence
