Give me the light, give me the dark
Give me the spectrum
Because I've been seeing so much gray

Give me tragedy and loss
An endless torrent of bad things
Give me light that just won't dull
A waking dream

And on my deathbed
Just plunge a dagger into my gut
And let me bleed out on the floor
An epitaph to clean living

Give me tragedy and loss
An endless torrent of bad things
Give me light that just won't dull
A waking dream

Wouldn't trade a minute of extremes
For a million hours of
Give me the light, give me the dark
Give me the spectrum
Because I've been seeing so much gray
Give me the light, give me the dark
Give me the spectrum

Give me tragedy and loss
An endless torrent of bad things
Give me light that just won't dull
A waking dream

Wouldn't trade a minute of extremes
For a million hours of security
