Questions in the Dark

Three in the morning and you walk out your room
Alone in the kitchen, sitting staring at the moon
When everything around you burns, still that fear
Put your dreams in a bottle, let the ocean steer
You're on your own, no one else can fight your battles
And there's never any telling where you'll be come tomorrow
But that's how you wanted it, Patrick
That's life how you like it, that quick
My thoughts get ahead of me, my ego compromised
I watch the devil do his evil, see the angel in my eyes
A woman dressed in white, holding up a peace sign
The forgiving ones are slaughtered, evil's written into time
Running through my head, and fighting with my wit
As good and evil clash, a philosophy forgets
And all this stuff is getting too much on my heart
With that little demon on my shoulder asking me questions in the dark

Will my heart be true
Will my cortex choose
When the summer rains
Wash away my tears
Will they kill my fears
And end my starving mind
Show me what I'll find
Show me what I'll...

Well I never had no money, but now it's gotten really bad
All my bills are overdue and I'm in need of some hard cash
Oh my head is aching, contemplating on the floor
Maybe I should blow my brains out, leave a note nailed to the door
Every day I waste away working six to nine at night
Every night I'm face to face with another harder fight
And here I am now sitting staring at the moon
With my head in my hands, thinking of this oncoming doom
Nothing ever works for you, listen and you know it's true
But I can give you something that'll make you feel so much less blue
All you gotta do is put that mask right on your face
Grab a pistol and some ammo and head down to the bank
Cynics, users, liars, abusers
Breaks your morals, makes them stop working sooner
Should have been easy, but you can't find your heart
With that little demon on your shoulder asking you questions in the dark

Will my heart be true
Will my cortex choose
When the summer rains
Wash away my tears
Will they kill my fears
And end my starving mind
Show me what I'll find
Show me what I'll...

Will my heart be true
Will my cortex choose
When the summer rains
Wash away my tears
Will they kill my fears
And end my starving mind
Show me what I'll find
