Simon Curtis - The Dark (feat. Jay-Z) lyrics

Sometimes I see some things
That I shouldn't see
Simple patterns that are hidden right
In front of me try to climb ever higher
Try to get to the sky
And though I've been to the clouds
It's just a temporary high

Take time
I said now what you're trying to do
If you're gonna see it through it takes time
I said it takes some time to figure it out
Stay in line but how do you follow it and
Cross it at the same time?
But, you just can't cross it oh, no

I don't wanna say the things I have to say
Who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?
Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act
Gotta wear the hat although
It's all a mismatch
Squared circles, ran around the hurdles
I did everything
I thought there was a purpose?

Can somebody show me how to get in?
'Cause, I can't figure out how to get in

Can somebody show me
I can't see in The Dark?
Can somebody take me
I can't stay in The Dark?
Will you Illuminate me on out of the Dark?

Turning pages, turning corners
Turning into another
Turning into a song that's just like
Every other they say to get there
You already have to be there to start
How do you get there when you
Know it's what you need in your heart?

Take time
I said now what you're trying to do
If you're gonna see it through it takes time
I said it takes some time to figure it out
Stay in line but how do you follow it and
Cross it at the same time?
But, you just can't cross it oh, no

I don't wanna say the things I have to say
Who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?
Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act
Gotta wear the hat although
It's all a mismatch
Squared circles, ran around the hurdles
I did everything
I thought there was a purpose?

Can somebody show me how to get in?
'Cause, I can't figure out how to get in

Can somebody show me?
I can't see in The Dark
Can somebody take me?
I can't stay in The Dark?
Will you Illuminate me on out of the Dark?

Little somethin' like this, woo!
Look what you made me do! Look
What I made for you!
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game
They try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hit's
Look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in
Just a matter of years (yeah)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
To be at an all-time high
Perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan
Wearin' the 4-5
It ain't to play games with you
It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin' you to smithereens
Cocksucker, take one for your team!
And I need you to remember one thing
(one thing) i came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales to sold-out concerts
Young did it to death, you gotta love it
Record companies told me I couldn't cut it
Now look at me: all star-studded
Golfer above par like I putted
All ‘cause the shit I
Uttered was utterly ridiculous
How sick is this? How sick is this?

I don't wanna say the things I have to say
Who's to say that I'll ever say them at all?
Gotta be that, gotta get it with that act
Gotta wear the hat although
It's all a mismatch
Squared circles, ran around the hurdles
I did everything
I thought there was a purpose?

Can somebody show me how to get in?
'Cause, I can't figure out how to get in

Can somebody show me
I can't see in The Dark?
Can somebody take me
I can't stay in The Dark?
Will you Illuminate me on out of the Dark?

Will you Illuminate me on out of The Dark?
