flip on the lights


You walked to the end for me 

And crawled onto your hanging bed

My flesh is weak

Break the chains 

The only thing I need

The sun can take away night

But you can show me how 

This soul needs life

Fill the holes

Because no one knows

Flip on the lights 

So that I can sleep

Turn off the cries 

And speak
