Heart of Darkness
Power Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
keep my head up fly beyond you.
I gotta keep my head inside me,
Keep my mind straight so don't even try me.
I'm just a tortured soul
I wish you would just get up and go.
Fly away and leave the rest,
if I never see you that would be best, yeah!
Go away and never return,
Go away in hell you will burn,
I hope you die and forever suffer
I don't even think that's good enough for you
I am like a ticking time bomb
I'm on the edge you pushed me off from.
This rage of mine builds up inside,
I want to crawl rite in and hide.
You think you do no wrong now,
when wrong was you all along now.
To you this is all one big joke,
on your words I know you'll choke!
Go away and never return
Go away in hell you will burn
I hope you die and forever suffer
I don't even think that's good enough for you
Heart of Darkness, Thanks for nothing!
Heart of Darkness, My head is fried.
Heart of Darkness, My rage is running.
Heart of Darkness, I wish you'd die!
You wasted my life with one big lie,
Oh you're the victim and I never tried.
You're a selfish bitch and a drunken' whore,
Come with me and I'll show you the door.
You will reap what you sow,
you will be paid back don't you know.
Be careful what you wish for,
you might get that and a whole lot more!
Go away and never return
Go away in hell you will burn
I hope you die and forever suffer
I don't even think that's good enough for you
Heart of Darkness, Thanks for nothing!
Heart of Darkness, My head is fried.
Heart of Darkness, My rage is running.
Heart of Darkness, I wish you'd die!
