I wake in the middle of the night and there's not enough air to fill my lungs I can see the calm but it's too far away There's enough noise in my head to wake the neighborhood Scream into my pillow, I'm sure it's traumatized by now Put my headphones on and force myself to sleep I wake in the middle of the morning it's like it never happened There's air in the room My music is louder than the noise Being sad is only for the dark of my room My personality isn't fit for depression I'm not that girl I have too many hobbies to be so sad so I just decided to stop Tears are for pillows Crying is for your bed Because you're too happy to be sad It's. Not. You.

The Dark
I wake in the middle of the night and there's not enough air to fill my lungs I can see the calm but it's too far away There's enough noise in my head to wake the neighborhood Scream into my pillow, I'm sure it's traumatized by now Put my headphones on and force myself to sleep I wake in the middle of the morning it's like it never happened There's air in the room My music is louder than the noise Being sad is only for the dark of my room My personality isn't fit for depression I'm not that girl I have too many hobbies to be so sad so I just decided to stop Tears are for pillows Crying is for your bed Because you're too happy to be sad It's. Not. You.
