I'll keep the lights on in this place, I'll sit here in the dark forever if its the case, but I know you'll be back soon, When I call we both know its a harpoon, The walls will dry and crack, this is where you bring me for a panic attack, I have felt worthless for so long, I have lost interest in any game or song, No I think I'll retreat back to that room to be alone, In there my voice is nothing but calm in its tone, I know its not the place that I wish to stay, but time and time again the world is too **** gray, I watch it all move and twist about, my insides screaming, my skin crawls and I want to shout, But the camera's shutter moves to slow, and the world slows down to a snail's flow, I never talked about the way I felt except in that room, where my heart could melt, and words can flow there like a summer's breeze, so I regress back to that room with ease, I'm sorry to make you read anymore, If the windows crack I need you to shut the door, I don't bring anyone else here, I've lived my whole life in fear, I need to break out and make anew, before my youth slows to a crawl, and then it's through If I think anymore, my brain will implode, like a black hole, it's another episode Inside I scream, my skin crawls, I want to shout Please depression, just let me out

I'll keep the lights on in this place
I'll keep the lights on in this place, I'll sit here in the dark forever if its the case, but I know you'll be back soon, When I call we both know its a harpoon, The walls will dry and crack, this is where you bring me for a panic attack, I have felt worthless for so long, I have lost interest in any game or song, No I think I'll retreat back to that room to be alone, In there my voice is nothing but calm in its tone, I know its not the place that I wish to stay, but time and time again the world is too **** gray, I watch it all move and twist about, my insides screaming, my skin crawls and I want to shout, But the camera's shutter moves to slow, and the world slows down to a snail's flow, I never talked about the way I felt except in that room, where my heart could melt, and words can flow there like a summer's breeze, so I regress back to that room with ease, I'm sorry to make you read anymore, If the windows crack I need you to shut the door, I don't bring anyone else here, I've lived my whole life in fear, I need to break out and make anew, before my youth slows to a crawl, and then it's through If I think anymore, my brain will implode, like a black hole, it's another episode Inside I scream, my skin crawls, I want to shout Please depression, just let me out
