Euphoric Equation

[00:00.04] In the beginning there was darkness
[00:04.17] There was no mercy it was heartless
[00:09.06] Sometimes to survive this life you gotta learn to run
[00:14.19] Stay ahead of the night
[00:17.13] Some days when the fire inside dies
[00:20.26] You gotta find your mark
[00:21.68] Cheat the light
[00:22.75] Banish darkness
[00:25.56] I was a kid
[00:26.80] I was petrified
[00:29.67] I couldn't look in my daddy's eyes
[00:33.63] I'd count 'em down
[00:35.00] Every drink he took
[00:36.88] And when the bad guy arrived
[00:39.65] I would just hide
[00:41.82] I was a man
[00:43.10] 23 years old
[00:46.25] The first time I told another soul
[00:50.11] About the violence inside my home
[00:53.28] I didn't even cry
[00:56.02] It's how survived
[00:58.37] I never meant to complicate things
[01:02.58] I never meant to disappear in my mind
[01:06.70] I never meant to swallow my heart
[01:09.68] But darkness travels faster than the speed of love
[01:14.71] I tried to run but I couldn't escape it
[01:18.34] Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant
[01:22.51] Got to chase the light
[01:24.22] Gotta do what you can to survive, to survive
[01:28.19] I survived
[01:29.10] I survived
[01:30.25] I survived
[01:34.66] Ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah
[01:47.56] I was a child
[01:48.85] I was cursed and damned
[01:51.78] Called me a name I didn't understand
[01:55.82] Made me ashamed of who I am
[01:58.92] So I killed that side
[02:01.64] A part of me died
[02:04.08] I met a man via pseudonym
[02:08.03] Said my bravado wasn't fooling him
[02:12.21] He saw a fracture in my Kingdom wall
[02:15.32] He said strength be damned
[02:18.04] Let it fall
[02:20.48] I never meant to complicate things
[02:24.57] I never meant to disappear in my mind
[02:28.66] I never meant to swallow my heart
[02:31.80] But darkness travels faster than the speed of love
[02:36.74] I tried to run but couldn't escape it
[02:40.38] Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant
[02:44.56] Got to chase the light
[02:46.25] Gotta do what you can to survive, to survive
[02:50.13] I survived
[02:51.25] I survived
[02:52.34] I survived
[02:56.71] Ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah
[03:09.17] Darkness and light are joy adjacent
[03:13.28] Both cannot exist in the same equation
[03:17.21] Shadows are bigger than the fools who make them
[03:21.48] Darkness travels faster than the speed of love
[03:25.55] You can try to run, but you can't escape it
[03:29.61] Sadness fills the void where joy is vacant
[03:33.73] Open up your heart to instantaneous light
[03:38.61] To light
[03:39.68] To light
[03:40.69] To light
[03:41.79] To light
[03:46.10] Ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah, ooh-hoo, yeah
[03:59.12]
