Cheekbones​​ ​​that​​ ​​shine​​ ​​like​​ ​​diamonds​

Oh​​ ​​darkness, ​​ ​​I ​​am​​ ​​nerveless

Eyes​​ ​​closed​​ ​​for​​ ​​lack​​ ​​of​​ purpose or lack​​ ​​of​​ ​​light​​

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​I’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it

I’m​​ ​​still​​ ​​afraid​​ ​​of​​ ​​the​​ ​​dark

You​​ ​​were​​ ​​my​​ ​​light​​ ​​for​​ ​​so​​ ​​long​

Oceans​​ ​​deep​​ ​​and ​​mountains​​ ​​tall​

Our​​ ​​future​​ ​​plays​​ ​​tricks​​ ​​on​​ ​​us, ​​ ​​huh?

Stories​​ ​​that​​ ​​wreak​​ ​​of​​ ​​fiction

Adorned, ​​ ​​written​​ ​​in​​ ​​cursive

You​​ ​​were​​ ​​a​​ ​​catholic​​ ​​school​​ ​​kid

You​​ ​​kept​​ ​​quiet​​ ​​for​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​you’d​​ ​​choose​​ ​​this​

Dimples​​ ​​that​​ ​​cut​​ ​​through​​ ​​eyelids

Oh, ​​ ​​heartlessness​​ ​​is​​ ​​burden

High​​ ​​lows, ​​ ​​for​​ ​​you’re​​ ​​uncertain

Of​​ ​​eagerness​​ ​​or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​you’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it​

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​you’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it​​

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​you’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it​​

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​you’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it​​

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​you’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it​​

The​​ ​​person​​ ​​you​​ ​​made​​ ​​yourself​​ ​​out​​ ​​to​​ ​​be​

Would​​ ​​feel​​ ​​sorry​​ ​​for​​ ​​what​​ ​​you have​​ ​​done​​ ​​to​​ ​​me​

Like​​ ​​scrapped​​ ​​sheet​​ ​​metal​​ ​​shaves​ ​ivories​

You​​ ​​started​​ ​​out​​ ​​slow​​ ​​but​​ ​​you​​ ​​cut​​ ​​your​​ ​​teeth​

You​​ ​​cut​​ ​​your​​ ​​teeth

Cheekbones​​ ​​that​​ ​​shine​​ ​​like​​ ​​diamonds​

Oh​​ ​​darkness, ​​ I​​ ​​am​​ ​​nerveless

Eyes​​ ​​closed​​ ​​for​​ ​​lack​​ ​​of​​ ​​purpose or lack​​ ​​of​​ ​​light​​

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​I’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​I’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​I’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​I’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it

Or​​ ​​fear​​ ​​that​​ ​​I’ll​​ ​​lose​​ ​​it

You’ve​​ ​​never​​ ​​felt​​ ​​sorry​​ ​​at​​ ​​all

You’ve​​ ​​never​​ ​​felt​​ ​​sorry​​ ​​at​​ ​​all

You’ve​​ ​​never​​ ​​felt​​ ​​sorry​​ ​​at​​ ​​all

You’ve​​ ​​never​​ ​​felt​​ ​​sorry​​ ​​at​​ ​​all

The​​ ​​person​​ ​​you​​ ​​made​​ ​​yourself​​ ​​out​​ ​​to​​ ​​be​

Would​​ ​​feel​​ ​​sorry​​ ​​for​​ ​​what​​ ​​you have​​ ​​done​​ ​​to​​ ​​me​

Like​​ ​​scrapped​​ ​​sheet​​ ​​metal​​ ​​shaves​ ​ivories​

You​​ ​​started​​ ​​out​​ ​​slow​​ ​​but​​ ​​you​​ ​​cut​​ ​​your​​ ​​teeth​

You​​ ​​cut​​ ​​your​​ ​​teeth
