Lyrics

[Intro ]

Yeah... they want me to change...

But what if I'm already gone?

What if the darkness is all that's left?

Let me show you...

[Verse 1]

Maybe I should give my soul to the devil, he's been asking nicely,

Maybe I should give up heaven 'cause hell's more enticing,

Maybe I should give in to the voices that are slicing,

Through my sanity like razors, I've been dicing with these vices,

Maybe I should give the reaper my address, he keeps on calling,

Maybe I should give up fighting gravity, I'm falling,

Into an abyss that's bottomless, the darkness is appalling,

But it's honest, it's cathartic, all this carnage is enthralling.

Maybe I should give these demons what they want, complete possession,

Maybe I should give my conscience up, it's just a false confession,

Maybe I should give in to obsession and depression,

Maybe I should give the world a demonstration of aggression,

Maybe I should give them nightmares wrapped in human flesh and bone,

Maybe I should give them reasons why they shouldn't be alone,

With me when I'm in this headspace, this red place, this dead zone,

Maybe I should give them hell on earth, I'll make it feel like home.

Maybe I should give up trying to be good, what's the point?

Maybe I should give my morals to the flames, light the joint,

Maybe I should give them everything they fear, I'll anoint,

Myself as the antichrist, entice the vice, disappoint,

Every person who believed in me, I'm grieving for the loss,

Of innocence, I'm sinister, a minister of holocaust,

Maybe I should give in to the cost of being boss,

Of this underworld I'm building in my mind, I'm getting lost.

[Chorus]

Maybe I should give in to the darkness,

Maybe I should give up being heartless,

Maybe I should give my soul away,

To the night, to the fright, to the decay,

Maybe I should give in...

[Verse 2]

Maybe I should give the therapist my file and then burn it,

Maybe I should give the psychiatric ward a visit, I've earned it,

Maybe I should give in to the urges that I'm learning,

To suppress and second-guess but now the flesh is really yearning,

Maybe I should give them graphic detailed descriptions of the violence,

Playing out inside my skull like surround sound breaking silence,

Maybe I should give them proof that I'm unhinged, that I'm a tyrant,

Maybe I should give them access to the basement where I'm hiding.

Maybe I should give the angels one last chance to save me,

But they're probably too busy judging people who enslave me,

To this hell I call existence, the resistance doesn't phase me,

I'm complacent in the basement where the pavement's stained with gravy,

Made from bodies I've been burying metaphorically, I'm scary,

When I'm in this state of mind, defined by thoughts that vary,

From the morbid to the torrid, I'm exploring the unwary,

Parts of human psyche where the psychos like to tarry.

Maybe I should give my enemies a taste of what I'm cooking,

Maybe I should give them reasons why they shouldn't have been looking,

Into my past, my cast of characters, I'm booking,

Reservations in the afterlife, I'm hooking up the booking,

Maybe I should give them visions of apocalyptic measures,

Maybe I should give them treasure maps to all my buried pressures,

Maybe I should give them lessons in the art of deadly lectures,

Maybe I should give them everything I've got without the censors.

[Chorus]

Maybe I should give in to the darkness,

Maybe I should give up being heartless,

Maybe I should give my soul away,

To the night, to the fright, to the decay,

Maybe I should give in...

[Bridge

I hear them calling from the shadows,

I hear them crawling through the gallows,

I hear them falling into madness,

I hear them brawling with the sadness,

MAYBE I SHOULD JOIN THEM!

[Verse 3]

Maybe I should give permission to the monster in the mirror,

Maybe I should give attention to the whispers getting clearer,

Maybe I should give myself completely to the fear,

Maybe I should give up hope that anybody wants me here,

Maybe I should give the world a front-row seat to my damnation,

Maybe I should give them documentation of my degradation,

Maybe I should give them validation of their accusations,

Maybe I should give them all the proof of my abomination.

Maybe I should give the darkness everything it's asking for,

Maybe I should give up knocking, just kick down the fucking door,

Maybe I should give them gore, give them more than they can store,

In their memories, their remedies won't work anymore,

Maybe I should give in to the grim, to the sin, to the dim,

Flickering of light that's barely fighting in this limb,

Of reality I'm grasping, it's collapsing, getting slim,

Maybe I should give in... maybe I should give in... maybe I should give in...

[Final Chorus]

MAYBE I SHOULD GIVE IN TO THE DARKNESS,

MAYBE I SHOULD GIVE UP BEING HEARTLESS,

MAYBE I SHOULD GIVE MY SOUL AWAY,

TO THE NIGHT, TO THE FRIGHT, TO THE D
