You held your head in your hands
Winter found the light inside of you burning out
And stretched you out across the floor where you laid down
And the darkest parts of yourself began to grow
But restless eyes do not sleep and they do not dream
As every day just skids to a halt
Disconnecting from yourself to keep the noise away
Fall left its leaves on a bright sea of green
Where you watched your fear grow
As parched as your eyes; overwhelming as the daylight coming in
The ground starts to shake and your heart starts to ache
You're drowning out
But you need not be so afraid
You don't have to hide; you don't need to run away
When words cut so deep and greatest fears come true
You don't have to cry; you don't need to be sorry
When the world turns so slow and the city gets lonely
