In the Dark
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

verse 1
i will never be the same
after going this far
can't cover the shame
can't cover the scars
but i try to be me
not anybody else
to open the freedom
that's locked on the shelf

the lights may be off
i'm the only one here
but i know right now
there is nothing to fear
i lost the path
couldn't see the ground
but who i am
is what i've found

bridge
you never wanted me
and i'm glad
you never gave me the time
to explain myself
cause now i'm self reliant
defiant stronger than ever
will weather any weather
reminded i can be better than better
forever
within that frame of mind
continuing to supply
the ideas of life
the strife can take a hike
this song is mine
mic 1
two to feel inferior
superior to feeling weird
i persevered

chorus
lights are gone
freedom flies
no more pain
no more crime
and we find out
who we are
that's all we got
when we're in the dark

v2
to be once rogue
in an institution
with plans of vogue
far from confucian
to see a wall
but look beyond
to sacrifice
all that you've found

look into the mirror
see a far off place
that still exist
in time and space
stand face to face
see nothing wrong
cause you understand
where you belong

br
you never wanted me
and i'm glad
you never gave me the time
to explain myself
cause now i'm self reliant
defiant stronger than ever
will weather any weather
reminded i can be better than better
forever
within that frame of mind
continuing to supply
the ideas of life
the strife can take a hike
this song is mine
mic 1
two to feel inferior
superior to feeling weird
i persevered

ch
lights are gone
freedom flies
no more pain
no more crime
and we find out
who we are
that's all we got
when we're in the dark
