Lyrics

Lesson From The Darkness

Have you seen the silent tyrant?

Swollen underneath his skull

Will it crack from all this pressure?

Everyone he can’t control

I heard “no” before the question

We can read your jagged fine

Lasers spelling out the answer

We don’t even need our eyes

Wave goodbye to bridges burning

Watch the clouds of blackness fade

Orchestrate this new delusion

Wash away the darkest days

Something's pushing up below me

Lower subconscious control

I can steer the waking body

I can care about it all…

If there’s a lesson, I could take it

I could take a lesson from the darkness

If there’s a lesson, I could take it

I could take a lesson from the darkness

If there’s a lesson, I can take it

I can take a lesson from the darkness

If there’s a lesson, I can take it

I can take a lesson from the darkness

I can take a lesson from the darkness

Have you seen the silent tyrant?

Swollen underneath his skull

Will it crack from all this pressure?

Everyone he can’t control

I heard “no” before the question

We can read your jagged fine

Lasers spelling out the answer

We don’t even need our eyes

If there’s a lesson, I could take it

I could take a lesson from the darkness

If there’s a lesson, I could take it

I could take a lesson from the darkness

If there’s a lesson, I can take it

I can take a lesson from the darkness

If there’s a lesson, I can take it

I can take a lesson from the darkness

I can take a lesson from the darkness

I can take a lesson from the darkness
