Be careful making wishes in the dark dark 
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark, mark 
And besides in the mean, meantime 
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart 

I'm in the de-details with the devil 
So now the world can never get me on my level 
I just got to get you out of the cage 
I'm a young lover's rage 
Gonna 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 

In the dark dark 
In the dark dark 

All the writers keep writing what they write, write 
Somewhere another pretty vein just died 
I've got the scars from tomorrow and 
I wish you could see, see 
That you're the antidote to everything except for me, me 

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 

In the dark dark 
In the dark dark 

My songs know what you did in the dark 
(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 

In the dark dark 
In the dark dark
