lyrics

When the lights go down
And the curtains shut
Can they tell I'm terrified
Did I do enough?
In a boundless dark
Looking for release
I am captive of my mind
I just want to sleep

When The lights go down
I am eight years old
And I just found out
How it feels to know you're all alone

When the lights go down
Then the seconds tick
Keeping pace my pulse races
Panicked for the fix
Turning over and over
In a web of dread
Reinventing new nightmares
Out of nothingness

When the lights go down
I am twelve years old
And I just found out
I'll be walking through this on my own

Down down down
Until the bottom catches me
By some miracle
Alive to see this mercy
Love that's bigger than my fear

When the lights go down
Can I be this old
And only just find out
I don't have to carry this alone
