Here I am, won't you be afraid of what I am Here I am, won't you run away There you are, won't you forget just what you are There you are, now you're gone again Stay with me if you don't want to get hurt Stay with me or your skin will burn Stay with you if only for a little while Chances are I'll disappear, disappear And I say go ahead into the darkness Come out brighter on the other side And I won't show you the way But I'll follow the path you've made Better off than yesterday Things have changed, I've lost all my self-control Things have changed, don't you know my name Won't you beg for the mercy of your God Won't you plead for me to stay For me to stay And I say go ahead into the darkness Come out brighter on the other side And I won't show you the way But I'll follow the path you've made Better off than yesterday Better off than yesterday Better off than yesterday Better off than yesterday Better off than yesterday
