Decayin' with the Boys
Decayin' Reflections: A Soul's Battle with Shadows
Lyrics
I ain't afraid of the dark
I am not afraid of darkness
I ain't worried about the savages loose in the night
I am not concerned about dangers in the night
But you show me the things I've done
You remind me of my past actions
And girl you know I get the chills all down my crooked spine
Your revelations give me chills
Kill the lights
Turn off the lights
I've seen too much
I have witnessed too much
If so below, then as above
If there is chaos below, there is chaos above
Lord knows I've seen enough
I have experienced sufficient hardships
It's crystal clear and uglier than I thought
The truth is clear and uglier than expected
Desperate and lonely juggernauts
Feeling desperate and alone like unstoppable forces
Illuminate the filth with the glow of your righteous heart
Reveal the darkness with the purity of your heart
Shine a light upon the world
Shine a light on the world
And i'll scurry back to the dark
I'll retreat to the darkness when exposed to the light
Lights on, rats out
With lights on, the hidden truths come out
Somebody turn on the light, keep the rest down
Someone turn on the light, keep others quiet
The uppers lower me into the hive
External influences lead me into a collective mindset
The lights are low us weeds come alive
In the dim light, undesirable aspects of life become evident
Downers pick me up into the ditch
Negative influences bring me down into despair
I cannot scratch this never-ending itch
I am stuck with an unending discomfort
Salvation is a hell of a thing
Salvation is a powerful but challenging concept
Pull the dust up over your eyes
Conceal the truth from yourself
I don't believe I'll have a revelation with all these secrets of mine
I doubt I will have a revelation with my hidden truths
And if I ever have a holy vision
If I have a divine vision, it will be intense
It's going to be two at a time
Expecting profound experiences in pairs
I got so much soul in me that I'm barely alive
I have a lot of depth within me, but I am barely alive
I've been down and out for so long baby I can't be revived
I have been in a state of despair for so long that revival seems unlikely
I ain't afraid to be long lost
I am not afraid of being lost for an extended period
I ain't bothered by the silence, the cold, or the roads that stretch for miles
I am not disturbed by silence, cold, or endless roads
But you show me the man I've become
You reveal the person I have become
And girl you know I want to tie up a rope and crack my crooked spine
Your revelations make me want to end my suffering
Kill the lights
Turn off the lights
I've seen too much
I have seen too much
