Lyrics
Lightswitch
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was put in a round room
And told to sit in the corner
While they wash my brain with a dirty rag
I was given a hammer
And told to build a fortress
With walls impossible to penetrate
You're the only thing I need
And you've become the only thing
That keeps me breathing, without you I'd be
In a dark place, no lightswitch
An open wound without a stitch
Maybe now you will understand
No matter how stable
The foundation may seem
Everything is crashing down on me
With papercuts on fingertips
Blackened eyes, and broken lips
Forever wounded, it's hard to tell
You're the only thing I need
Whether I fail or succeed
Within my blindness, you are all I see
The morning fog sun burns away
A predator's eye without its prey
Maybe now you will understand
I won't quit on you
No, I won't quit on you
I won't run away
Ever, ever, ever, ever...
