Darkness & Light ft. Spencer Hill Lyrics

Darkness & Light

Dark and light, this choice gave me shaky hands

Darkness seems so appealing, but light is what makes you a man

The choice seems easy, complete blackness condemned

Doesn't start out that way, it's like being kids in Candyland

A close to perfect feeling 'til the black consumes you

Until even the brightest light can't shine through you

You'll rot over bones of people who made the same mistake

You'll end up alone and lose every expression from your face

Taught to run away from blinding, bright, shining light

That's only through that tunnel when it's all about to end life

The shadow's such an uncomfortable spot to lay in

This place is such a perfect place to stop and play dead in

You've lost feeling to your cold and clammy hands

Become a martyr to something that you'll never understand

Moving forward, fighting for something you know you can't

Hold in your palms, the blackness slips right through your grasp

A heavy dose of grey

Confuses black and white

I'm about to give up this fight

I say a prayer in the dark

I'm reaching for the light

Ooh, come save me

Be something, please go out and be more than that

Grab the sun and hold it tight and never ever give it back

Jump out of the shadows and run so far, desert the black

Hide from the evil castle, were constantly under attack

I understand shining bright in here's become a task

With red eyed demons deceiving their lies hidden behind their masks

But light is what makes all out hearts beat at a consistent pace

Never accept defeat and wipe the sorrow from your pretty face

A difference can be made with light stuck inside you

Rip open your chest and let inner light shine and guide you

Just close your eyes, the direction will flow through

Just like a flower you can blossom and begin to bloom

All darkness completely gone, it's all been consumed

You feel it burning inside, breath deep, you can smell the fumes

Now open those eyes, you found your way through the hollow room

The real journey starts, now the scars they will fade soon

In the dead of night, it fades away

But in my mind's eye, I'm blinded by the light

Pushin' through…Ooh

I cry, "I'll try!"

Now's the time, yeah it's been here all the time

And it's finally mine

Yeah, a heavy dose, a heavy dose of grey confuses black and white

I'm not about to, I'm not about to give up this fight now

I say a prayer, say a prayer every night

Reachin' out my hand and try to grab onto the light

Open up my heart and try to do things right

I'm beggin' please now, please, come save me

It wasn't easy as a young man growin' up

Figured all I had to do in life was just show up

I took it all for granted, didn't even care to understand

The darkness was making me less of a man

I'm not perfect, I know that He understands

He knows that life doesn't always go to a plan

All I know is that I can be a better man

Thank You, thank You…You saved me
