"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy" -Norman Vincent Peale


A shadow is creeping

A light is so fleeting

The darkness we pose

Nobody knows

The beauty we're seeing

 

A world that's so wrong

That causes such harm

Then put's it on the news

And wants to raise the alarms

Should have shut themselves down

Instead of coming out

Cause they made themselves

A target for those having doubts

 

And when we all say HEY

I don't wanna live in this DAY

I want to see a dark PARADE

And let the unknown take me AWAY

NO I don't ever want to

GO and leave this new life behind

SO take your lies and leave me

ALONE

 

I find the media slimey

Cause they are all coniving

I can tell you they're lying

When they say they have you in mind

Never believe the big business

They just wanna sell you their sickness

I think we know true fitness

Is letting go of this lifeless

Social carcass

 

And when we all say HEY

I don't wanna live in this DAY

I want to see a dark PARADE

And let the unknown take me AWAY

NO I don't ever want to

GO and leave this new life behind

SO take your lies and leave me

ALONE

 

And one day we will win this war

If you don't know what we're fighting for

It's the greatest revolution

To stop the worl'd mental pollution

 

So keep on fighting till the sun arises

That is when we shall hide our true selves

And return beneath the masks we've made

I know what you want to say

 

And when we all say HEY

I don't wanna live in this DAY

I want to see a dark PARADE

And let the unknown take me AWAY

NO I don't ever want to

GO and leave this new life behind

SO take your lies and leave me

ALONE
