Blacker days can misbehave 
 Read my thoughts, rip off a page 
 Count me out, count me in 
    Blacker days can misbehave 
 Heading for an early grave 
 That's the place, that's the face 
 I recall 
 I close the case   
 Now I can breathe the air 
 Release the weight 
 But I can't escape 
 From myself   
 Race the race 
 Face to face 
 Touch and embrace 
 It's down this ugly town 
 Downtown 
 I feel slowed down   
 Were my eyes open wide 
 When you turned into a part of me? 
 Guess we both took it well 
 Can I keep it all inside? 
 Slowed down, gone wide
