Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Been spending so much time underground I guess my eyes adjusted To the lack of light I got Covered in darkness Covered in darkness I have been waiting Always waiting for something new Happiness has always ended In the blink of an eye There was no one attending No one attending It doesn't really matter where it all began All I know I got covered in darkness Covered in darkness Ever wonder why I never really truly connect Although my eyes are open I can hold your gaze But I am never connected Never connected I am famous for my generosity They say I am the kindest But it is easier to Give than receive love Give than receive love It doesn't really matter where it all began All I know I was covered in darkness Covered in darkness Turning pages over Run away to nowhere And it's hard to take control When your enemy's old and afraid of you You'll discover that the monster you were running from Is the monster in you Better to hold on to love Better to hold on to love Change will come It doesn't really matter where it all began All I know I was covered in darkness Covered in darkness It doesn't really matter where it all began 'cause all I know I was lost I was lost No, no It doesn't really matter where it all began no no All I know I was lost I feel lost Lost No
