Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
Besides, in the mean meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in a deep deep dance with the devil
You know the world can't ever get me on my level
I just got to get you out the cage
On my own, lovers' rage
God, I need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire
Whoa (in the dark)
Whoa (in the dark)
The writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
Light 'em up-up-up
I'm on fire
Whoa (in the dark)
Whoa (in the dark)
