"Dark"

I know
That the world is cold
It's nothing new, it's nothing old
And I don't have to be told
Of the atrocities
That all unfold

The world is so dark
But I don't want to go there
I want to live in the light
In the light

I've seen
Poisons killing me
Drugs and depression, everything
I know they're only taking
Never giving
I want to breathe

chorus

Above the dim and dark, depraved
I'm thinking maybe I could pave
The world into whatever shape
I want
Above the selfish, lowly games
The desperate clamoring for fame
I want to paint
The world
In light
