about

this song is about a quiet place.

lyrics

One, two, three, four

If I make it through this night
I’ll make sure to lend a hand
I’ll throw on the light
I’ll make sure to follow your plan

If I make it through this day
I’ll make sure to postpone
The thoughts that pull me away
So I’ll never be alone again

I’ll promise to never be myself

If it’ll help you fall asleep
I’ll find a way to hold in
These secrets that I keep
And I’ll tell you exactly where I’ve been

If it’ll calm down your nerves
I’ll put the demons in my soul
In a hell that they deserve
And I’ll never let myself be whole

I’ll promise to never be myself anymore
I’d rather spend all my nights alone

I’d rather choke on my own bones
I will make sure to die all alone
I’d rather drown in my own tears
With all my medicated fears

As long as I promise to never be myself again

I will be the burden on your back
I will be the smile that you force
I will be the pain before a heart attack
I will be the skin that grows coarse

My heart will resume its beat
As the car tears down the street
My sins I never will atone
And I’ll make sure to die all alone
