Keep The Lights On by Close Your Eyes
Everything that I despise
Consumes me when I close my eyes
I don't know if I can change the way I feel
Despite the light that you have shone
The dark has become what I know
And I am fighting to find my way out of it
I am trying so hard to forget
This constant aching feeling that (1)__________ inside my chest
The fear in me always (2)__________ me down
The guilt I (3)________ will not let me get up again
I'm crushed by the weight
I was younger then, careless and innocent
I (4)__________ thought my words could (5)________ so much
But I am older now, I should be screaming out
So why is it (6)________ I keep my mouth shut?
Why do I try so hard to forget
The forgiveness that is in your hands
And the mercy in your words?
You are calling me to (7)________ you and find rest
And leave behind the emptiness
That holds me in the dark
That (8)__________ me in the dark
I hope you can hear me
I'll keep singing this song
Even if there's no air left
And dirt (9)__________ up these lungs
Please keep the lights on
I am trying to (10)________ it home
The sun is sinking
But I won't go down with it
Please keep the lights on
I am trying to make it home
The sun is sinking
But I won't go down with it
The sun is sinking
The sun is sinking
The sun is sinking
I won't go down with it
Consumes me when I close my eyes
I don't know if I can change the way I feel
Despite the light that you have shone
The dark has become what I know
