In The Darkness

[Chorus]
They want me caught up in the darkness
But I ain't ever going back
I put my focus on the future, yeah
So it gets hard just to relax
I'm just trying to make an impact
Before I fade to black
It's not all about the pain we go through
It's all how you react
(Yeah, it's all how you react)

[Verse 1]
You don't need to meet them where they are and stoop low
Every pictured that's painted has more than two tones
Leave the darkness where you find it and to do so
Isn't easy but we have to before we losе hope
Darkness doesn't livе up in the cemetery
It's up in your mind I think it's dead and buried
So while you sniff around for the bones
Someone's out there getting to it while you're living alone
You can let em win or you can lose yourself
Don't do it for them just go and do it for your health
Hope you make some changes but then only time will tell
I can only warn you if you listen oh well
You don't need to prove yourself to no man
Thinking that cause we're programmed
Cause we've taken love and the soul out of the romance
We're grown men and still we've been acting like little kids
Unaware of the place that we live

[Bridge]
They want us caught up in the darkness
But I ain't ever going back
Let's keep our focus on the future, yeah
It's all how we react

[Verse 2]
You just try to jeopardize all that I've worked for
Is it cause you're mad that I went and cause I worked more
I have never been an artist that they go and twerk for
But I'd rather die than be something I'm not that's what I search for
When I listen to music I want to hear you bleed
I want to hear you just speak on moments where you were weak and you
Had to summon the courage to get right up and to flourish
These people don't know what it takes to be perfect cause we don't
Have an image of it at all
We keep tearing each other no claws
With no cause to it at all
Learn to love one another instead of battle
I'm not saying that we don't got to protect
But take advantage of the moment you reset
Try to forgive but you don't got to forget
Even those I don't agree with I respect
And even though
They want me caught up in the darkness
Let's keep our focus on the future, yeah
It's all how we react
When we're caught up in the darkness
(Caught up in the darkness)

[Chorus]
They want us caught up in the darkness
But I ain't ever going back
Let's keep our focus on the future, yeah
It's all how we react
I'm just trying to make an impact
Before I fade to black
It's not all about the pain we go through
It's all how you react
(Yeah, it's all how you react)
