Out of the Dark Lyrics

I gave my soul to you
Laid my whole life in the palm of your hands
Took on the world for you
You and I had the future all planned

But behind the walls and barricades
That you put up to keep us safe
I died. We died.
In the shelter of the night

Out of the dark tonight
My straight jacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark tonight
Leaving behind everything but the sun
Out of the dark

I'd walk the wire for you
Pick the stars from the sky for you, for us
But I couldn't smell the fuel
'Til you lit the fire and burned it all up

Like a vampire feeding of my life
To keep me hostage from my life
And though I tried and I tried
One of us had to die

Out of the dark tonight
My straight jacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark tonight
Leaving behind everything but the sun
Out of the dark

Out of the dark
Ah

Out of the dark
And into the light tonight

Leaving the dark behind
I tried
Yeah I tried
But one of us had to die
One of us had to die
One of us had to die

Out of the dark tonight
My straight jacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark tonight
Leaving behind everything but the sun
Out of the dark tonight

My straight jacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark
