The Dark and I, We Get Along
No Plagiarism!28F0W1qjzDQoPfskDYVkposted on PＥNAＮＡ

I can’t want, I can’t need

I can’t long to be freed

I can’t need, I can’t want

I can’t wail, I can’t haunt

———

It’s a joyous eternity,

At least that’s what you want to see

Yet I still praise secretly

The darkness you can’t end truly

———

I can work, I can toil

And my blood has no soil

I can toil, I can work

I can scream, go berserk

———

It’s a joyous eternity,

At least that’s what you want to see

Yet I still praise secretly

The darkness you can’t end truly

———

I can’t love, I can’t live

I can’t take, only give

I can’t live, I can’t love

I can’t see skies above

———

It’s a joyous eternity,

At least that’s what you want to see

Yet I still praise secretly

The darkness you can’t end truly

———

I’m alive, I’m unfree

You think I want to be

I’m unfree, I’m alive

I will fight, not survive

———

It’s a joyous eternity,

At least that’s what you want to see

Yet I still praise secretly

The darkness you can’t end truly
