Dark Side - Abstract

Thoughts invade your mind

Paint the worst of endings

Logic left behind

No longer pretending on the dark side of your imagination

Dark side of your imagination

Yeah

Paint it as dark and dreary as it could get

Every negative memory and scar in your chest

Hard to trust when trust is certain to rust

'Cause you got a history with your mountains turnin' to dust

Sandcastles out of quicksand, what do we expect?

All we need’s our own hands to lift us out of all the stress

Love the expectations 'cause a high is in effect

When the ones we put on others don’t go under and they’re met

In every way that we imagined so it’s tragic when they’re not

Me, I might go manic when it wasn’t what I thought

«My life is what I made it,» that’s a false sense of control

Can’t control others' rotations through their phases so I roll

Up my ruminations with the worst 'cause I was told

My greatest gift’s my greatest curse, imagination takes its toll

Thoughts invade your mind

Paint the worst of endings

Logic left behind

No longer pretending on the dark side of your imagination

Dark side of your imagination

Yeah

I done came up with visions I turned into fruition

I done had my darkest nights turn my mind to a prison

I done turned to my closest, found out no one would listen

Create a fiction of who I wanted to see

And believed it 'til they showed me that’s just a product of me

Never was the version that I wanted them to be

So I rewrote every memory 'til they fit in my scene

False idols, false love, that’s false prophets

Blindsided, blind love ripped out my sockets

Just so I could live where the love ain’t reciprocated

And that’s just like playin' god, and playin' god can be dangerous

Am I the last of the real?

The last who wants to feel?

Last who wants to be happy off something less than a mill'?

I’m twenty-six and sick of games, been givin' and feelin' drained

So is it so bizarre that I’d rather live in my brain?

Thoughts invade your mind

Paint the worst of endings

Logic left behind

No longer pretending on the dark side of your imagination

Dark side of your imagination
