Every light can be turned off
but you can't turn off the darkness
I’m walking in a lonely alley
a labyrinth of hopelessness

Another night of bitterness and despair
run my fingers across my scars
chain smoking in an early morning breeze
and counting the fading stars

So many times my heart has broken
yet I allowed myself to fall for you
thought I needed the butterflies
but they tore me right through

come in close to me and I’ll run away
still begging you to stay with me
I was free in my cage
until you threw away the key

Whatever you do
don't tell me it's gonna be okay
for there will always be more monsters
following the ones I fought today

Some things are better left unsaid
but I can't stop hiding my acid stains
I’ve stopped crying
but the reason still remains
