let's go to dark places
soft glowing lights reflecting on our faces

I'll accept
you won't stay this time

leave me here
I'll die alone I know

let's stay quiet
forget about the noises
soak in the silence

hold your breath
longer
until your lungs burn

I'm hopeless
just hold your breath
more time
I'll tell you when I'm fine

will you take care of yourself
do I have to grow up so fast

I'm never fine
let's avoid the daylight
I can feel my skin sting

don't ask questions

the pressure rains down
I feel so down
it's a long way down now
hold your breath

let me rest
eileen
