Apathy & Lies

i don't have any curtains but i can see the sky
my heart is full of apathy
my mouth is full of lies
at least i've got a bed where i can rest my bones
i'm never quite with anyone
i'm never quite alone

​

though you may be frightened 
even though there are wolves at your door
stare into the darkness
you'll see things worth turning the page for
you'll see things worth learning to be brave for
go to sleep, go to sleep 
on that old kitchen floor

​

i really miss my mother and i know she misses me
in the cold, stark light of november
there's nothing much to see
i wish i had a deck of cards so i could pass the time
i belong to everyone
but nothing's really mine

​

though you may be hungry
and the things that you want are just out of reach
stare into the darkness
you'll see things worth staying awake for
you'll see things worth learning to be brave for
carve your name, carve your name 
on that old kitchen floor

​

here we are again
i want you to listen
i want you to breath in
here we are again
i want you to hurt me
like i know that you can

​

the night comes barging into my bedroom

cuz there's nothing to keep it out
oh this is me giving up 
this is me throwing in the towel
someday i'll have a piece of ground where i can rest my bones
i'm never quite with anyone
i'm never quite alone
