Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had a way then, losing it all on my own
I had a heart then, but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up the strength I need to push me
[Verse 2]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
[Verse 3]
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
[Verse 4]
Voices I play with in my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathin'
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe
[Verse 5]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
[Verse 6]
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
[Verse 7]
When I'm alone
