Don't care what time it is

I'm so lonely

There's a light out there

If only you would show me



Can't really talk about it

Handcuffed to my secrets

Don't want to offend you

But don't want to have to lie



It's got a gun to my my head

And I'm crying, I'm crying red

But have no fear

I'll swallow all my tears if you come near



Everything's alright

Come close, it won't bite

Come closer, it won't bite

Its gonna be an okay night



Sometimes I can't sleep

The nightmares cut too deep

Anxious dreams

I pull my hair and scream



It's out for blood

I'm bleeding, here comes the flood

Try as I might

I'm not gonna sleep tonight, but



Everything's alright

Come close, it won't bite

Come closer, it won't bite

Its gonna be an okay night


Those nights I still cannot sleep

The times when the pain cut so deep

And the still open wounds reside in my eyelids

My fears have found the courage to escape the place in which they hid



Memories burn images into a black ceiling

A cigarette that once burned a hole in my arm

Forced to lock up what I was feeling

Says if you hear no scream, there is no harm



My vocal chords expressed surrender

As words went to slumber

My mind screamed murder

But all the body could offer was a shudder



Nothingness my lost tongue uttered

Ready to take its place with the rest of the world in the gutter

Lay down to a world much bigger than itself

And lock meaning and purpose high on a shelf



A history of oppression

And we havenât learned a lesson

Nights filled with depression

And he still wonât learn a lesson
