Turn out
all of the lights
Burned out
This is what it feels like
Lie down
Spread-out out on the floor

Silence
Nothing is moving
Violence
And my heart is hearing
Voices
I haven't heard before

No light
Left in the dark
No fight
Left in my heart
Tonight
Might be the final time

No place
For shadows to move
No space
Inside the room
Their crowding
Around me to get inside

But I want to say goodbye to you
I want to go away but you
Just keep holding on

The shadows seem bigger than stars
Maybe it's cause they're so far
Or maybe it's cause it's been years since they've been gone
But the light goes on
Maybe it's been years since I've been gone...
Just the shadows go on

Turn out
All of the lights
Till the house
Is like what is inside me
