I had a way then and was losing it all on my own. I had a heart then, but the queen has been overthrown. I'm not sleeping now. The dark is too hard to beat. I'm not keeping up the strength I need to push me. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine it when I'm alone. I tell myself that I'll be strong and be dreaming when they're gone because they're calling me home. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine it when I'm alone.
     Noises play within my head. I touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing. I think back to when my brother and my sister slept in an unlocked place. It was the only time I feel safe. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine it when I'm alone. I tell myself that I'll be strong and be dreaming when they're gone because they're calling me home. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine it when I'm alone.
     You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine it when I'm alone. I tell myself that I'll be strong and be dreaming when they're gone because they're calling me home. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine it when I'm alone
