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 (1)____________ so hard to forget
This constant aching feeling that (2)__________ inside my chest
The fear in me always drags me down
The guilt I feel will not let me get up again
I'm (3)______________ by the weight
I was younger then, careless and innocent
I never thought my words (4)__________ mean so much
But I am older now, I should be screaming out
So why is it that I keep my mouth shut?
Why do I try so hard to forget
The (5)______________________ that is in your hands
And the (6)__________ in your words?
You are calling me to seek you and find rest
And leave behind the emptiness
That (7)__________ me in the dark
That holds 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 fills up (8)__________ lungs
Please keep the lights on
I am trying to make it home
The sun is sinking
But I won't go down with it
Please (9)________ 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
