[verse 1] Worlds a darkened place Every step deeper Into a blackened maze. The only thing that keeps wicked at bay Is letting these thoughts See the light of day. Only appears In the deep midnight Is the memory of Of your face. [chorus] Trying to keep the darkness in, trying to keep it out. Does it come from inside Or does it find you as ya ride. Does it come from lies Or the ones you call allies. Does it come from within All your unspeakable sin Does it come from your hope Or all your doubts, Is the darkness in your soul From the inside or out. From the inside or out. [verse 2] Feel it come on in the night Same old thought You been try to fight. Lying in a pitch black room. Already shot your shot Now there’s nothing left Here to do. If kicking the shit out of me is a skill I got a master’s degree. The only thing i do well Is make it to the bell. [chorus] Trying to keep the darkness in, trying to keep it out. Does it come from inside Or does it find you as ya ride. Does it come from lies Or the ones you call allies. Does it come from within All your unspeakable sin Does it come from your hope Or all your doubts, Is the darkness in your soul From the inside or out. From the inside or out. [cello, violin, country guitar solo] [verse 3] If I needed rain I’d get nothing but drought If I needed light All I get would be the night. Fighting ghosts in my mind turn the lights out every time. Why try’n be honest if your heads just full of lies. [chorus] Trying to keep the darkness in, trying to keep it out. Does it come from inside Or does it find you as ya ride. Does it come from lies Or the ones you call allies. Does it come from within All your unspeakable sin Does it come from your hope Or all your doubts, Is the darkness in your soul From the inside or out. From the inside or out. [conclusion] Does it come from your hope Or all your doubts, Is the darkness in your soul From the inside or out.
