"Dark Thoughts" is a song by American rock band The Funeral Portrait, the fifth track on Greetings From Suffocate City. It was released as a single, and the album version features guest vocals from Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria. The song reached number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in January 2026.
Vocalist Lee Jennings stated that several songs on the album developed from early demos, citing "Dark Thoughts" as a track that progressed from a basic idea into a completed song. He added that he had not expected it to resonate as strongly as it did upon release.
A version of the song featuring Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria was later recorded. Jennings stated that Worsnop reached out to collaborate on the track and "helped take it to a whole new level".
On August 22, 2025, "Dark Thoughts" was released to radio as a single and appeared on the four-track "The Dark Thoughts EP". The EP includes the original track, a version featuring Worsnop, a "Beyond The Abyss" remix, and a live recording from the band's first "Suffocate City" Town Hall Meeting in Atlanta.
Jennings described it as a "finger snapping anthemic" song about mental health struggles, particularly his experiences with OCD. The song explores feeling trapped in one's own mind and seeking connection and understanding with others.
On the album's re-release, the version featuring Worsnop includes harmonized vocals with Jennings.
In August 2024, Melodic Magazine included "Dark Thoughts" among their top tracks in its "On Your Radar" feature written by Justice Petersen. In a September 2024 review of the album, Charlotte Griffiths of Distorted Sound Magazine noted that the guitar rhythm was similar to that of "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison" by My Chemical Romance.
A live version of "Dark Thoughts" was recorded at the band's first hometown show, the "Suffocate City" Town Hall Meeting in Atlanta on November 17, 2024, and was included on the EP.
