hiding like a two-year-old and acting like I'm in control

I'm waiting for cops to throw the warrant down

and tell me that they've found me out

I'm breaking a thousand little laws

a thousand little flaws have found their way inside

show me who I am

deep beneath the skin

still a spark divine

still a spark divine?



there's a black cloud over me, over me

and I'm too proud to get on my knees, on my knees

a dumb kid fighting to fight

and I'm tired all the time

under this black cloud



failing like a pharaoh just to glimpse the straight and narrow

when it's so clear

buzzy, sick mosquito thinks he's soaring like an eagle

when the hand's near



a thousand lessons learned

a thousand tries to earn what's already mine

remind me who I am

shining through my skin

still a spark divine?

still the spark divine



there's a black cloud over me, over me

and I'm too proud to get on my knees, on my knees

a dumb kid fighting to fight

and I'm tired all the time

under this black cloud



black cloud, when the day fades will you burn in flame?

black cloud, when the night aches will you light my way?



black cloud

over me, over me

when the day fades will you burn in flame?

black cloud

I'm on my knees, on my knees

when the night aches will you light my way?

light my way
