You wanted to see my darkness
It was buried in a box
underneath the earth
covered in chains and locks
you wanted to see my pain
and how it made me who I am
but those tears felt too heavy
people wouldn't understand
you wanted to know my memories
all the ghosts in my mind
but it was those hidden truths
I wanted no one to find
because that is not me
I'm no longer that girl
I was meant for greater things
than the crumbling of this world
so if you want to see my darkness
because you're blinded by my light
then I hope you like roller coasters
and you can hold on tight
because all the memories
that I buried so deep
were the ones that haunted me
and kept me from sleep
they're not meant to see
the sweet light of day
because I lost myself there
when I gave the darkness away
