i've killed myself a thousand times before
in the darkest shadows of my mind
its where the darkness rises
but when the motel sign is shut off
and the weirdos show up
the freaks start the show
all the thoughts disappear
the woods are engulfed with flames
but we dance in them anyways
some can't swim
but drown anyways
dance in the rain
to feel the pain
of the angels that cry
when all you want is to
paint the frost on the window
hold your breathe and see the first snowflake fall
the way your thoughts halt
around the things you love
if your're feeling lonely
don't isolate yourself in the darkness
don't fall like a leaf in autumn
don't be a light switch and turn off
shine bright like a star,
in the daylight
don't get crushed by the falling skies
just another tv station with static
and another pop with fizz that will eventually go flat
another pair of jeans that wear and tear
we're going to be okay
not another fantasy
or book
that gets thrown away
in the darkest shadows of my mind
its where the darkness rises
but when the motel sign is shut off
and the weirdos show up
the freaks start the show
all the thoughts disappear
the woods are engulfed with flames
but we dance in them anyways
some can't swim
but drown anyways
dance in the rain
to feel the pain
of the angels that cry
when all you want is to
paint the frost on the window
hold your breathe and see the first snowflake fall
the way your thoughts halt
around the things you love
if your're feeling lonely
don't isolate yourself in the darkness
don't fall like a leaf in autumn
don't be a light switch and turn off
shine bright like a star,
in the daylight
don't get crushed by the falling skies
just another tv station with static
and another pop with fizz that will eventually go flat
another pair of jeans that wear and tear
we're going to be okay
not another fantasy
or book
that gets thrown away
