Payback from the Night

I know a girl that speaks in rhymes
Who keeps up with life's stranger side
She doesn't let him see the poems
She writes and princess socks she hides

Though it started with passion now that part's gone
Thought that it would have lasted but it's too far drawn
In the water's her bastion, she switch the stars on
And swims under the magic before the clouds roll in
But this time she will not be restrained
She says fuck it and walks out in the falling rain
But what's the point of this empathy if it's all the same
Sometimes it feels like a ball and chain, she's haunted by these

These ghosts that live inside her head
Say stay back from the light
They try to keep her lying in bed
No way that she can fight
What if she finds her voice instead?
Like say that one more time
She'll show him that her shadows shine
That's pay back from the night

This world is full of fiends who lost their dreams
Now they wanna take yours
While he looked so good he's lost with all these vampires by the shore
And he's the reason you decided to
Change the way you are
Like you don't squeal with joy like life's your toy
And freestyle in your car

Why's it gotta collapse though when it felt so warm
Some people like to smash shit but they still wont mourn
Part of her know he's bad for but still goes for him
He don't even feel bad for her and so it goes

You feel like you found the one but why the bright and shiny ones
Reflect the pain you kept in vain?
It's like you dying from tiny cuts
All these dreams we grind to dust, scars are there reminding us
We're trying to trust our shaky hearts instead of blindly finding lust
It ain't just cause of guys that suck it's cause her eyes are shut
What's bright hurts because of the past but let your eyes adjust
He tried that half apologizing but this time she's done
Like go to hell you vampire, it's time to find the shining sun

These ghosts that live inside her head
Say stay back from the light
They try to keep her lying in bed
No way that she can fight
What if she finds her voice instead?
Like say that one more time
She'll show him that her shadows shine
That's pay back from the night

I know a girl that speaks in rhymes
It keeps up with life's stranger side
I like it when she reads the poems she writes
Those princess socks are tight
