It's too dark in here to see,
in circles we are wandering
Surrendering to the beat
of everyday machinery

Feels like we're on repeat,
same play only different scenes
To what cost did we achieve 
the exclusion of uncertainty?

Where would you go
if time wasn't up?
Who would you be
if you weren't lost?
Adventurous soul, 
shackled and chained, 
this is your castle
this is your cage

It's too dark in here to see,
the bridge across the void is weak
Be careful who you greet
when staring down the deep

Where would you go
if time wasn't up?  
Who would you be
if you weren't lost?
Adventurous soul, 
shackled and chained, 
this is your castle
this is your cage
this is your conflict
this is your gain
this is your verdict 
this is your grace
this is the reason
this is your faith

Adventurous soul, 
shackled and chained, 
this is your castle
this is your cage
        

I follow noone's lead
To cruelty I'm sworn
The strongest will survive
That's what I've been taught

Born into this world
I knew right from the start
If you're gonna succeed
you gotta grow an angry heart

Look at me now
I am the kid with the crown
I rule the playground
Before me you bow
I'm the kid with the crown

Cheating is my craft
To win I change the rules
I do as I please
Vengeance is my fuel

Look at me now
I am the kid with the crown
I rule the big world
Before me you bow
I'm the kid with the crown

Look at me now
I am the kid with the crown
I rule the big world
I am the kid with the crown
I rule the playground
        

I've been waiting here for ages
For a crack in the dark to appear
Anybody there on the outside?
Who can show me a way out of here?

Oh, I'm trembling
Oh, I'm fading

I know I don't belong here in the shadows
Let me out, and my next song will be for you
Trapped inside this overwhelming darkness
There's a song in my heart, 
I'll name it the Blackbird Blues

A beam of light's cutting through
this universe of nothingness

Oh, I'm shivering
Oh, I'm weakening

I know I don't belong here in the shadows
Let me out, and my next song will be for you
Trapped inside this overwhelming darkness
There's a song in my heart, 
I'll name it the Blackbird Blues
        

The cross that you bear  
The loyalties you swear  
The pain that you chase  
The suffering you face  
  
What's it worth in the end  
to deny and defend  
There's a dawning inside  
Exhale the night  
  
The gloom that you praise  
The punishment you crave  
  
What's it worth in the end  
to deny and defend  
There's a dawning inside  
Exhale the night  
  
The cross that you bear  
The loyalties you swear  
The pain that you chase  
The suffering you face  
  
What's it worth in the end  
to deny and defend  
There's a dawning inside  
Exhale the night
