Dark Necessities

View the lyrics
Comin' out to the light of day we got
Many moons that are deep at play, so I
Keep an eye on the shadow's smile to see what it has to say
You and I both know
Everything must go away
A-what do you say?

Spinning off, head is on my heart
It's like a bit of light in a touch of dark you got
Sneak attacked from the zodiac but I see your eyes spark
Keep the breeze and go
Blow by blow and go away
A-what do you say?

Yeah, you don't know my mind, you don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design and
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

Stumble down to the parking lot, you got
No time for the afterthought, they're like
Ice cream for an astronaut, well that's me looking for weed
Turn the corner and
Find the world and show command
Playing the hand

Yeah, you don't know my mind, you don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

Do you want this love of mine?
Darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Do you want it overtime?
But darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?

Pick you up like a paperback, with the
Track record of a maniac, so I
Moving in and we unpack, it's the same as yesterday
Honey, where we roll
Everything must go away
A-what do you say?

Yeah, you don't know my mind, you don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
