Don’t look too deep into the black water
Get too close to the fire and you will get burned
You like the darkness more than the light – but beware
Some stones are better left unturned

But it’s calling you, it tries to pull you in
The lure of the darkness is stronger than you think
Before you know, you’re not on solid ground, you’re on quicksand
There’s no one near - and you’re starting to sink

Don’t pursue kicks don’t go for those fast fixes
Beware of those bad habits you know how easily you fall
You have tried most of those rides and you know that you’re too weak
Just stay on the right side of the fence and avoid them all

But it’s calling you, it tries to pull you in
The lure of the darkness is stronger than you think
Before you know, you’re not on solid ground, you’re on quicksand
There’s no one near - and you’re starting to sink

Like the forbidden fruit you can’t have just a taste of it
It’s so much easier to begin than it is to stop
Seen from the edge it is beautiful down there on the dark side
But once you go down there it may be hard to get back up

But it’s calling you, it tries to pull you in
The lure of the darkness is stronger than you think
Before you know, you’re not on solid ground, you’re on quicksand
There’s no one near - and you’re starting to sink

Don’t look too deep into the black water
Get too close to the fire and you will get burned
You like the darkness more than the light – but beware
Some stones are better left unturned
