Suddenly I find I've got darkness on my mind It's a question mark that keeps me looking And it's never satisfied And it's never what I thought Saying I'm happy happy when I'm not Oh I've got darkness on my mind Leaning out the frame When it's particulate and gray I'm perpendicular to my whole being When I lean a certain way Saying I'm happy when I'm not Finding roaches in the pot I've got darkness on my mind Some people spend their whole lives looking For someone who could understand While meanwhile the lilac's blooming Are you strong enough to be my man? I know it's been a long time coming I'm angry and I know that's weak I'm longing about open windows For whatever it is I see Some people spend their whole lives looking For someone who could understand While meanwhile the lilac's blooming Are you strong enough to be my man? And I know it's been a long time coming And it's not like I thought it'd be So I'm trying not to be so bitter I'm just looking at it honestly I know it's been a long time coming I'm angry and I know that's weak But I'm longing about open windows For whatever it is I see Some people spend their whole lives looking For someone who could understand While meanwhile the lilac's blooming Are you strong enough to be my man?
