Older Days

They keep saying brighter days are coming
But the mist is getting thicker and thicker
As I'm fading away
Twenty eight, still going through changes
Getting lost in the process
Three or four times a year

Feelings aside,
I've made a deal with the devil
Told me life down there could be beautiful
Feeling the high, feeling the heat
Maybe this is where I've always wanted to be
So let's sink

Take me back to older days
'Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same
Here's my love letter
Dear evil within

Dishonest to myself
Designer of my own coffin
Strolling 'round the block
Like I know what I'm doing
Still not afraid of dying
Yet I'm afraid to live
Scared of the dark
But I thrive in the darkest places

At the deepest of my heart, I know I went too far
It's a one-way now, there's no turning back
No longer the man I was, taking off the mask
Acting like a wolf but I'm just a rat

Take me back to older days
Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same
Linger on nothing
Dust in the wind
Still the song remains the same
It's bittersweet how I can't seem to change
Here's my love letter
Dear evil within

There's no dawn without dusk
Woop!

Something's taking over me, Jekyll and Hyde
Not enough room in this body for both you and I
Between day and night, always split in half
Hiding in the shadow so I can't be found

Take me back to older days
Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same
Linger on nothing
Dust in the wind
Still the song remains the same
It's bittersweet how I can't seem to change
Here's my love letter
Dear evil within

There's no dawn without dusk
No birth without death, peace without war
There's no me without you

Brain dead insect barely kept alive by its parasite
Makes me wish I'd never been alive
Saw me in half, rip off the vice
Take me back

Take me back to older days
Cause I'm afraid I'll never be the same
Here's my love letter, dear evil within
