There’s a darker side to everything
That’s why I tend to try not to think
There’s a darker part to you and me
We’re never who we want
But I guess that’s meant to be
I’m pasting gray words over sun-streaked beats like
“I never met someone as dismal as me”
If the words make you frown, don’t put the pages down
'cause when was the last time you forced yourself to think?
Sometimes I feel like my brain was on the shelf
And I picked it out just to mess with myself
'cause there’s another side to me that darkness only helps
And I can’t say it’s me
But I can’t say it’s someone else
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There's a darker side to everything
That’s why I tend to try not to think
There’s a darker part to you and me
We’re never who we want
But I guess that's meant to be
This is not something you can wash out with the sun
This sits beside me every day until I’m gone
Cause I live between happy and haunted
But that’s never what I wanted
So process me
Take these words to sleep
If there’s any way I won’t be alone
This is it
It has to be
Terrified of never being what I wanted
So I’ll flip between happy and haunted
There's a darker side to everything
That’s why I tend to try not to think
There’s a darker part to you and me
We’re never who we want
But I guess that's meant to be
This is not something you can wash out with the sun
This sits beside me every day until I’m gone
Cause I live between happy and haunted
I live between happy and haunted
Darkerside was written by Aidan Patrick Andrews & Eli Atticus Garlick & Craig Alexander Matterson & Nolan Thomas Bassett & Carson Hardy Bassett.
daysormay released Darkerside on Tue May 03 2016.
Darkerside seemed to be the only song on the EP that was entirely in the dark. It was my bad side, that alter-ego fully in control. So for me, it’s always been this song that I feel is very confessional in the way it blatantly states exactly what I’m thinking when I’m in that state of mind. -
