Darkness Lyrics

You have the right to pay me the little that you pay me

Lodge me in a small dark room and clothe me shabbily

You can harass me with your thirst

Until I blush at a look and cry at a word

There's only so much darkness

You have the right to open my legs

Break my arms and snap off my head

You have the right to own my body

But not to laugh at me

You do not have that right

But it's the one you hold most dearly

There's only so much darkness I can take

We can't all be rich

We can't all be happy

We can't all be so goddamn lucky

There must be a darkness to show up the bright colours

Some must feel pain for the pleasure of others

There's only so much darkness
