lyrics

When you say
You’re feeling low
There is only one response to expect
To run away and
Take what you can to be numb

You hide yourself
From all the world to see
You play your part
Now everybody’s pleased
You’re so lonely now
And nothing feels real
And it goes on like so

When darkness forms
Everybody knows
It’s all down hill
From here

The winter passes
You don’t notice the cold
Wrapped in the comforts
Of your sins
Oblivious to the world outside
An the turmoil within

When darkness forms
Everybody knows
It’s all down hill
From here

The summer comes
The days get long
The daylight shows you ashamed
Your face is sinking
With the weight of the sun
And darkness offers you grace

The winter comes
Back around again
This time you notice it’s cold
You take your last breath
On the footpaths of shame
Your want to live just grew old
