Black and White

Maybe I'm not a good boy, not what people think
I know I'm not an angel I've already died my wings
I can play the villain, I can take the fall
Believe me I'll get stronger, faster, smarter through it all

I can be the hero, I can save the day
As long as I don't have myself I know I'll be okay
I can be your white light, I can be your hope
There will be no mercy I can feel it in my bones

So plunge me into the dark and see how much I will scream
It's not about who we are it's all about who you wanna be
Bring me up from the ground and then absolve all my sin
Don't know where we go from here but I know that I won't fit in

And my wings are going black and white
And the world is going black and white
Everyone is choosing black or white
With me in the middle color black and white and gray

Oh the water's getting higher as my island starts to drown
Every time I try to fly I'm pulled back to the ground
There is no more safe house, no neutral in between
I guess it's finally time to choose who isn't me

So plunge me into the dark and see how much I will scream
It's not about who we are it's all about who you wanna be
Bring me up from the ground and then absolve all my sin
Don't know where we go from here but I know that I won't fit in

And my wings are going black and white
And the world is going black and white
Everyone is choosing black or white
With me in the middle color black and white and gray

Didn't wanna pick a side, didn't wanna certify
I didn't wanna learn to fly but now we in the sky
Didn't wanna pick a side, didn't wanna certify
I didn't wanna learn to fly but now we in the sky

(So plunge me into the dark) Plunge me into the dark and see how much I will scream
It's not about who we are it's all about who you wanna be (who I wanna be)
Bring me up from the ground and then absolve all my sin
Don't know where we go from here but I know that I won't fit in

And my wings are going black and white
And the world is going black and white
Everyone is choosing black or white
With me in the middle color black and white and gray

Maybe I'm not a good boy
