about

Troy Petty’s “I Am The Dark”, the first single from the upcoming release “Director’s Cut”, is a full-on rock song with big tribal drums and distorted guitars topped with Petty’s soaring vocal signatures.


Story behind the song:

“I Am The Dark” draws from the perspectives of someone who has been looked down upon and judged for being different or less fortunate. Then a reminder to his/her critic, that in the end, they will too know what it feels like to be judged.

lyrics

I AM THE DARK - by Troy Petty


Enough with who thinks they're right
despite your advice
We're all bound to sink together
If you exist on power
And blatant vanity
you end up making love to your insecurities

If you refuse
The light I bleed for you
I'll be the dark, you'll be the moonbeam
I'll be the dark you’ll be the moonbeam

Who do you think you harm
When your lips are drawing fire
Let's put the ego out
And kick the fool that made you
Too proud to be seen, your mortal feelings

I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
I am the dark, you are the moonbeam

Your bright ideas/ideals won't shine for long

Don't take lightly the wounded boy
on lesser ground
Born to lead, but
forced to leave the crowd
Don't stand too proud
Don't stare too long
And force my lead

I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
I am the dark, you are the moonbeam
