The Dark Side

The dark side took him young and now it just won't let him go
We say we want him back but did we ever have him I don't know
He asks his mum can I come home cause he knows she won't say no
But it won't be very long before the strain begins to show

And now he's
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know
From eating junk food in
his bedroom you'll find him standing on a bridge
And more than once he's made the call to say Help me
Or I might just end all this

He says he's getting better
but then he just won't take his meds
He'll put his thoughts down in a letter then he'll cry all night in bed
There's help for him out there but he'll just push right passed instead
Yet he'll openly admit he can't control what's in his head

And now he's
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know
From eating junk food in
his bedroom you'll find him standing on a bridge
And more than once he's made the call to say Help me
Or I might just end all this
I might just end all this

Aaaaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaaaahhhh
Aaaaaaaahhhh

And now he's
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know
From eating junk food in
his bedroom you'll find him standing on a bridge
And more than once he's made the call to say Help me
Or I might just end all this
I might just end all this

I thought I'd found a way to him through the music we both share
I was optimistic to believe I could prove how much I care
At just 18 we can't stand by while the dark side lays him bare
So we've got to pull together now and make the world awere

And now he's
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know
From eating junk food in
his bedroom you'll find him standing on a bridge
And more than once he's made the call to say Help me
Or I might just end all this
I might just end all this
I might just end all this
Oh no Oh no Oh no
