Lesson From the Darkness Songtext
von The Faint

Have you seen the silent tyrant?
Swollen underneath his skull.
Will it crack from all this pressure?
Everyone he can′t control.
I heard "no" before the question,
We can read your jacket fine,
Lasers spelling out the answers,
We don't even need our eyes.

Wave goodbye to bridges burning,
Watch the clouds of blackness fade,
Orchestrate this smooth delusion,
Wash away the darkest days.
Somethings pushing up below me,
Lower sub-conscious control,
I can steer the waking body,
I can care about it all...


If there′s a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.
If there's a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.
If there's a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.

Have you seen the silent tyrant?
Swollen underneath his skull.
Will it crack from all this pressure?
Everyone he can′t control.
I heard "no" before the question,
We can read your jacket fine,
Lasers spelling out the answers,
We don′t even need our eyes.

If there's a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.

If there′s a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.
If there's a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.
If there′s a lesson, I can take it.
I can take a lesson from the darkness.
