We sit in the dark
And we do not put the light on
We're afraid that if we do
We might just see a demon
So we stay inside instead
And keep the voices in our head
We don't say the truth
And we keep our mouth from speaking
We're afraid that if we do
We might just lose our standing
So we tell the lies
And stay and keep our words inside our head
But why don't you come into the light
I could show you
It's easier to step up than hide
And if you like I'll stay with you
Tonight
Hold your hand and stroke your hair
And tell you everything's alright
So we sit in the dark
And we do not put the light on
We're afraid that if we do
We might just see a demon
So we stay inside instead
And keep the voices in our head
We don't say the truth
Say the truth
And we keep our mouth from speaking
We're afraid that if we do
We might just lose our standing
So we tell the lies instead
And keep our words inside our head
But why don't you come into the light
I could show you
We're afraid that if we do
And it's easier to step up than hide
And it's easier to step up than hide
Thank you.
