Out After Dark

Cut the hands off the thief, Let his starving children fester Confess your sins to the bashful king but expect to face the jester Like you do when your mine Pull the strings Release the thunder And let it take you under Exploit yourself to your known convicts Let them tear your life asunder I know they let you down I know they broke your heart I know why you felt the need To run out after dark And you know how they let me down And you know how they broke my heart You know why I had to leave So let's run out after dark Reach out in hopes to break free Attempt to breach the divide Express the art behind blasphemy And look on as love painfully dies I can feel your divine And it's eating me alive I was forced to watch you die But I've never felt so alive And it's burning away Every single day The rules that set us straight Have all been cast away And I know they let you down And I know they broke your heart I know how you felt the need To run out after dark And you know how they let me down And you know how they broke my heart You know why I had to leave So let's run out after dark
