Lyrics

Dark Dark World

[Verse 1]

An aptitude to self-destruct

Some get lost, shit out of luck

Your position is unjust

Who can trust you?

You got them eating out your palm

Back them up against the wall

Gotta kill, then watch them fall

Down around you, down around you

Down around you, down

[Chorus]

Who can ignore this waging war?

It all became a blunder

When will you attest?

Life is a whore

Who will you fight in your

Dark, dark world?

[Verse 2]

Time to call upon the troops

Play a melancholy tune

Can you face the naked truth staring at you?

Never up to something good

Always could've, should've, would

Never not misunderstood

What can we do? What can we do?

What can?

[Chorus]

Who can ignore this waging war?

It all became a blunder

When will you confess?

Lifе is a whore

Who will you fight in your

Dark, dark world?

[Bridge]

Form a coalition

With just one condition

You're always at thе center of your

Dark, dark, dark, dark

Dark, dark, dark, dark world

[Chorus]

Who can ignore this waging war?

It all became a blunder

When will you attest?

Life is a whore

Who will you fight in your

Dark, dark, dark, dark world?
