Come Clean, Dark Thing
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.
Nightshade, a pretty flower
You drink the poison and we count the hours
You black out, holding my hand
I dream of letting go but I just can't
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again and I’ll care again
Come clean, dark thing
Look up to the sky again and I’ll try again
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again
And stop pretending
Dark sky, you're barely breathing
You’re still alive but you’re already grieving
A headstone, look at what you’ve become
You see the sadness at the center of everyone
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again and you’ll care again
Come clean, dark thing
Look into the sky again and you’ll try again
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again
And stop pretending
How we sleep, how we lie
How we learn to say goodbye
You are safe here, you are right here
You could promise you could try
All your love, all your life
All your days of wasted time
Come clean, dark thing
You can breathe the air again
And stop pretending
If you say that you want me, too
If you say that you need me, too
If you say that you love me, too
