But you can’t chase away a figment And this recreation of you that loomed over me I couldn’t escape your fog I felt the allure of your darkness And how it used to pull me in
You became an outline in the night And I struggle to keep you near Because when I kept on all the lights I was blinded by my own fear
As I passed you, I painted blonde streaks across the bed I thought it was a sign that was obvious and red, But you were no longer the person that I knew So I tried to shine straight through
I looked for you in the elbows of streets And see pieces of you in every one I meet
No longer did I want to feel the sadness Of your deliberate ignoring habits You can disregard my presence But I know you still live in remnants
The silent darkness you surrounded me with Cannot suffocate me any more You see, I am no longer fearful of the night Because when you left me I learned how to create my own light
