lights out

falling into numb
holding my air again
can't surface to breathe
darkness strangles me

tears taste like metal now
and my heart has burned to gray
i never menat to get this way-not for you

but what the fuck do you expect me to do?
in the morning all I feel like doing
is lying in bed
you tell me to get on with life, but I'm telling you
it's through-cause if life valued me at all
shit would have come together
and i wouldn't have to be stuck waiting

tired of breaking down over shit
that means nothing
so take every part of me
throw it away
cut her away

repaint the walls
forget my colors
make yellow curtians so the sunshine
can illuminate longer in the night
to chase the shadows to their graves
take all the pictures
remove the barriers

please don't think of me
i'm turning the lights out
turn the lights out...please
we're turning the lights out
turn the lights out

falling into numb
holding my air again
cna't surfface to breathe
hello, darkness-hope i didn't keep you waiting
