Spock's Beard
"From the Darkness"

I. The Darkness

It's everywhere that I go
It's everything that I see
And I don't know how to fight it

What was down is now up
And what was up has gone down
This scene has lost all its spirit

If you're not going
Every minute of every day
You'll end up somewhere behind it

Back in the day things were hard
But so much simpler in ways
You didn't know when to quit

Outshined by everyone around
Feeling lost and never found
Trying hard to fight the good fight
Out of the darkness and into the light

Strange things always come
When your mind is not clear
And there's no understanding

Thrown right under the bus
Throwing up all your guts
To get back to beginnings

Habits carved into stone
That you do all alone
When nobody is watching

Trying not to get caught
Fear is what you have sought
And it's much too demanding

Outshined by everyone around
Feeling lost and never found
Trying hard to fight the good fight
Out of the darkness and into the light

II. Chance Meeting

I saw you sitting with your friends that day
I tried to keep myself from staring
I found the courage but I had nothing to say
My tongue was tied and I was daring

How lucky the sun came shining

You told me I was out of my mind
I said you were crazy
But it was me who was crazy
Drunk on the wine in your eyes

Our story is written across the sky
Words to last forever
And the meaning just gets clearer every day

I hope you know we share one soul
Never let go

III. On My Own

Can you tell me?
Can you help me?
I am feeling down
Situation overload
Our ship has run aground

Waiting for the lightning strike
To come and bring me down
I talk but you don't hear a sound

It's got me so frustrated
The words have been debated
Can you give me any reason at all?

I want to know
I want to know

I'm on my own
I'm on my own

IV. Start Over Again

How you doin' my man?
You got anything to say?
Tell us everything
Everything you learned along the way

The crowd they love you today

Tell us everything
How you did it
How you made your way

Start over again
Feel alive come on and take it
Start over again
Feel alive come on and make it

Start over again
Come on and take it
Start over again
Come on let's make it
Yeah!
