Dark Days - Fat Freddy's Drop

Learning to breathe again

For the first time

In so long now

Learning to see again

Through my pride

Learning to speak again

From my heart

Learning to be a friend

For the first time

For the first time

In so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

Feel like I’m losing time

When I worry

'Cause yesterday won’t change

Starting to free my mind

From the shadow of doubt

That keeps me in darkness

Testing the air outside

My chamber

Into the danger

Pushing my limits high

To the red line and over

And why have I waited

So long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long

For so long-

Oh

Why have I waited?

Why have I waited, yeah

Well it’s hard to be happy

In a world that’s so cruel

Where the weak just get weaker

Where the powerful feud

Where the children go hungry

While the soldiers stand by, hey

Lay down your weapons

Take hold of your lives

And when will we learn

That it’s hate that breeds hate?

Only love is the cure

Don’t leave it too late

Get up, and feel it

The truth that won’t wait

If we choose to do nothing

Then we take all the blame
