Dark Side
Bishop Briggs Lyrics

Welcome to my dark side
I am inviting you to the darkest parts of my personality

It's gonna be a long night
This journey into my dark side will not be easy or brief

Welcome to my darkness, I been here a while
I have existed in this shadowy state for some time now

Clouding up the sunlight, hurting for a smile
I dwell in pain and sadness even on bright days, yearning for happiness

But something always turns into nothing
Even when I have hope, it always ends up amounting to nothing

Oh, I drain your life 'Til there's nothing left but your blood shot eyes
I am so toxic that I take everything good from people, leaving only pain and exhaustion

Oh, I take my time 'Til I show you how I feel inside
The true depths of my darkness will slowly reveal themselves over time

I can be your reckless You can be my stake
We can indulge in reckless behavior together, with you taking the risk for us both

I can be your heartache You can be my shame
I will willingly cause you heartbreak if it means protecting myself from shame or guilt

When you're feeling chained When there's nothing left but pain
Only when you reach a place of complete helplessness and agony are you truly welcomed into my dark world

Acting like I'm heartless, I do it all the time
I often pretend to be emotionally empty or numb as a way to protect myself

That don't mean I'm scarless, that don't mean I'm fine
My tough exterior doesn't mean I am not damaged or in pain

But you'll see When someone else makes you this way
Only when you experience the same pain and damage as me will you truly understand me

Welcome to my dark side
Once again, I extend the invitation to join me in my world of darkness

We're gonna have a good time
Despite the bleak nature of my dark side, we will find pleasure in our pain and recklessness
