Dark Days


You've hurt in so many ways,

I'm stuck in some dark days,

If you label me worse than the rest,

I will throw away my best.

 

You say I don't know my place,

In an instant my persona can change,

It you won't let these scars mend,

Why can't this fight end?

 

You just put out my light,

I can't fight without sight,

If you label me a bad kid,

Forget about justice.

 

Now I'm trapped in my darkest day,

This pain can't go away,

You made full of doubt,

I want to knock you out.

 

I will give into the storm,

Give me labels and I'll conform,

I can't put down this rage, 

Even in my brightest day.
