the night is like a blanket that s suffocating the fire with a bow to the string and a note from the choir i believe and that s about as far it goes when you ve been riding on the wings of a bloody murder of crows hold it all out throw it into the wind let it lay down the line where the drama begins because if everything is covered and teetering on a whim you can harmonize the sound of it s insecurity s hymn when it s played yeah stripped down and shaved shipped off to battle in the shadow of the day and if anything is salvaged from the battered up remains you can sew it to your jacket and compensate for the pain when it hits when it speaks lick the blood right off of it s teeth you ll grip those sheets in attempt to hide and figure out that you ve been running from the feeling of never leaving alive so hide sleep with the lights on you feel like you can be at peace with the lights on here so cover up your face and fight away that taste that makes you want to run and hide hide hide and sleep with the lights on you stand up on your tiny feet when the night s gone here when the night s gone here swallow that lump inside of your throat open up the closet and push aside all the clothes you believe and never needed more to be said to leave you scared of that little gap between the floor and your bed so you jump leaping over all over your options and retreat right back to that bed we call a coffin to sleep never actually getting a wink due to all the little devils that dance around in your dreams and attack you pull you under the bed with their hands and take away the chance of you ever making a stand and if anything actually ever went as you planned that you could retrace the steps you ran but only if it hits if it speaks you could fight it to the death in the streets you ll grip those sheets in attempt to hide and figure out that you ve been running from the feeling of never leaving alive so hide you ll stay awake so hide we all know that you ll stay awake hide sleep with the lights on you feel like you can be at peace with the lights on here so cover up your face and fight away that taste that makes you want to run and hide hide hide and sleep with the lights on you stand up on your tiny feet when the night s gone here when the night s gone here
