Long Sleeves

Nothing's coming out right
Laid in bed for hours but I can't sleep
And I don't wanna give up the fight
But giving up seems easy when I'm this weak

But I promise I'm fine, nothing's bothering me
I'm just tired, so I'll go to my room and sleep
Keeping secrets under long sleeves

Stranger to the daylight
Someone tell the sun to go to sleep
Silent tears at late night
No one can learn of a secret this deep

But I promise I'm fine, nothing's bothering me
I'm just tired, so I'll go to my room and sleep
Keeping secrets under long sleeves
Scars that get darker and darker the deeper they go
And reach right into my soul

Etching away at all I have left
Head in my pillow as I daydream of death
Slowly choking with every breath
On a list of my failures around my neck
Cold bathroom tiles against my chest
Poison my blood and wait for the rest

I hate how I think when I'm on my own
'Cos the worst place I can be is alone

And I want you to go
But I need you to stay
'Cos having you here
Keeps the darkness away

And I want you to go
But I need you to stay
'Cos having you here
Keeps the darkness away

You keep the darkness away
