Message:
The fine line.

You've heard of heaven and you've heard of hell
You're living life, almost, as well
You've heard of god and his golden men
You've heard of stuff that you believe until the end

You've got a story that you can't wait to tell
Before you know it, you're falling as hard as you fell
I've heard a lot but I think I've seen more
I've heard of god's golden men and their absurd law

So if I wanted to breathe a non-believer in what you preach, I
I'm not worth that much, see I'm no teacher in what I recieve from what I know
And I know nothing at all
I'm just skin and bone
I'm just a rag he'd thrown
I'm the story that everybody knows
But the story that goes untold
I know

Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone
Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone

Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

You've lost yourself in the bitterness of war
Whether it's your health or your neighbour next door
It's costed you greatly and you can't find a way out
You fought for something that you just don't know about

Now you decided to recite your thoughts
Echo the beat of your heart to lifeless souls
But that's when you realise it's all just plastic
They tell you to hush it, stop your crying, so melodramatic

Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone
Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone

Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

I realise everything is just plastic
They tell you to hush it, stop your crying, so melodramatic
It's tragic

Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone
Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone

Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone
Rolling in the dark
Rolling in the dark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone

Rolling in the dark
Searching a non-existent spark, oh
Rolling in the dark
In the dark alone
Rolling in the dark
Trying to find your heart, oh
Rolling in the dark for
Something I don't know

I don't know
In the dark alone
