The truth was sold, that's where the trail goes cold My shoulders shudder at the thought of puffing my chest out as I walk home alone Under the arches, there's this bloke with car boot Full of stolen phones, knock off cologne And mink carcasses
Near mint condition from Selfridges, mate I see arsonists with business rates etched on the back of empty match boxes and Police officers getting their truncheons polished off in the bushes Wondering what all the fuss is about and what I'm looking at
But if looks could kill My vacant gaze wouldn't even pierce the skin I'm not lazy, ambition is just something I have no interest in At least when I meet my maker, I'll embrace all my mistakes As I descend into the bowels of hell with a shit eating grin on my face
Dark days, it's a never ending cycle of abuse Dark days, I have the blues and I can't shake them loose Dark days, I have the blues and I can't shake them loose Dark days, it's a never ending cycle of abuse
Was skeptic due to how the media had depicted ya Though getting to know you better We clicked and so we stuck together Turning the corner of the burning cenotaph of those coppers clocked us Stopped us and shook us up and down With no grounds to and no due process They started discussing whether to let us off for doing nothing Or maybe pop us for "looking like" we might be hiding something But then the radio buzzed in "They caught car boot man with the lot" Thank fuck, I bought you enough time not to get shot
Dark days, it's a never ending cycle of abuse Dark days, I have the blues and I can't shake them loose Dark days, I have the blues and I can't shake them loose Dark days, it's a never ending cycle of abuse Dark days, it's a never ending cycle of abuse Dark days, I have the blues and I can't shake them loose Dark days, I have the blues and I can't shake them loose Dark days, it's a never ending cycle of abuse
My best ideas are borrowed, but they're never half baked They're hard to swallow, hey, I'm an acquired taste And if you wanna climb the ladder of success on Judgment Day Take my advice and reinvent the reel completely believe me (Dark days)
Dark days Dark days Dark days
