Darkness Lyrics

[Chorus]
I can dream up schemes
When I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws
'Til I get to my feet
I wish I never
Woke up this morning
Life was easy

[Verse 1]

If it weren't so dark
I could be replaced
By any bright spark

[Verse 2]

That nobody knows
I wish I never
Woke up this morning
Life was easy

'Til I get to my feet
I wish I never
Woke up this morning
Life was easy
When it was boring

[Outro]
I wish I never
Woke up this morning
Life was easy
When it was boring
