The Dark Half - Aesthetic Perfection

Each one of us is two separate beings

There’s the outer being, the one that we show to the world at large

And then there’s the inner truth of?

Follow me to the dark,

Into the dead of night,

It’s time to see the truth,

To meet the other side

I’ll give what you crave

I’ll leave you wanting more

He’s gotta get, oh, you gotta get it

Cause everything you need

Is lurking in the core

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

Gotta cut that hole inside of me

You gotta cut deep down below

To where the beauty digs its hole

You never love and it shows

For who I truly am

Why must I be a fraud?

Why must I be a show?

Why can’t I be content?

To reap the seeds I’ve sew-oh-oh-oh-own?

For all your flattery

For all your words of praise

He’s gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You are only nurturing

The side of me I hate

He’s gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

Gotta cut that hole inside of me

You gotta cut deep down below

To where the beauty digs its hole

You never love and it shows

For who I truly am

Hey, hey, hey (x4)

Run from the one, in the dark

He’ll never let you go

Run from the one, in the dark

He’ll never let you go

Run from the one, in the dark

He’ll never let you go

Run from the one, in the dark

He’ll never let you go

You gotta cut deep down below

To where the beauty digs its hole

You never love and it shows

For who I truly am

Hey, hey, hey (x4)

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

You gotta get it, ooh, you gotta get it

(spoken clip)

Most of us keep that inner being hidden away, locked up.

He doesn’t have to

hide it, he doesn’t have to keep it from anything, he can let it out,

bring it out in the open and let it live.
