Stu-stu-stuttering Under those beautiful shadows Near edgar street Halloween, light lamps pumpkins Sh-sh-shaking hands You looked so broken shattered "You haven't been yourself lately." "Well maybe I have." "No no no this isn't you." "Maybe it is, maybe im just sick of pretending." -"Have you been eating? When's the last time you had a goodnight's sleep?" "Why does it matter..." I wanted to remember how the light illuminated your cheekbones But made those shadows under your eyes darker They seemed to taunt your face Dancing around producing fearful images I was surprised you were still awake What a beautiful mess you looked... What a beautiful mess you looked like "Y-you-you think the world is a beautiful place dont you?" "I think It can be." You looked haunted. "Yeah, for those who sleep."

Tell me about your nightmare sweetheart
Stu-stu-stuttering Under those beautiful shadows Near edgar street Halloween, light lamps pumpkins Sh-sh-shaking hands You looked so broken shattered "You haven't been yourself lately." "Well maybe I have." "No no no this isn't you." "Maybe it is, maybe im just sick of pretending." -"Have you been eating? When's the last time you had a goodnight's sleep?" "Why does it matter..." I wanted to remember how the light illuminated your cheekbones But made those shadows under your eyes darker They seemed to taunt your face Dancing around producing fearful images I was surprised you were still awake What a beautiful mess you looked... What a beautiful mess you looked like "Y-you-you think the world is a beautiful place dont you?" "I think It can be." You looked haunted. "Yeah, for those who sleep."
