The Avett Brothers - Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise lyrics

There’s a darkness upon me
That’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me
What’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by
The man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone
You’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke
In and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last
Of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon you
That’s flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell
You what’s wrong and what’s right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke
In and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last
Of those bad thoughts are finally out

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke
In and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last
Of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon me
That’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me
What’s wrong and what’s right
There’s a darkness upon me
That’s flooded in light
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
