Heart of Darkness - Mackenzie Nicole

All the thoughts that colonize my mind

And make my heartbeat fall out of time…

Empty casings and their bloody footprints on the ground…

See her rise above the smoke cloud just to shoot her down

I smile pretty like ivory —

That’s why they had to take my smile from me

When it all was said and done, they said I was the killer

And they sold it down the river to the highest bidder

You can’t run, and you can’t hide

In the Heart of Darkness

You can’t run, and you can’t hide

In the Heart of Darkness

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

«The horror!

The horror!»

I screamed it out almost as if to warn her

Of the things that they will do

If they get a hold of you

They made a hellscape of a paradise

Now, I’m nothing but a pair of eyes

I knew right then and there that I never stood a chance

When I saw them shoot her down when she just raised her hands

You can’t run, and you can’t hide

In the Heart of Darkness

You can’t run, and you can’t hide

In the Heart of Darkness

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide

Run, run, run!

It’s too late for you

To run and hide
