I’m face-down on the floor Counting dust in the seams My mind fumes In a room without dreams The wallpaper bends Then slips out of view I know my own name But it sounds like you Voices in the hall Talking all at once They cut into each other Then turn into dust Too far Too far They don’t mean a thing I turn into their thing And the light gets thin And the edge too insane My brain feels borrowed My mouth tastes their name The shadows return They still know my house They take off their shoes And then settle down With autumn The light loses power With autumn The dark’s coming back My mind gets taken Kidnapped by the low By what was lost and doesn’t let go With autumn The light loses power With autumn I can hide inside The dark comes back Oh the dark comes back A voice from the past Says it’s almost over I can feel the breath And the lies of someone older Then a little boy Crying through my walls Please But the word isn’t heard at all I try to stand up But the room leans low Every old thing I buried Finds me, nowhere to go Names with no owners Hands with no skin All the broken pieces Wait to come in And the light gets weak And the edge looks fine My body feels stolen No matter the time The shadows return Now they’re in my house They took off their shoes Already settling down With autumn The light loses power With autumn And the dark’s gaining space My mind preparing To face the worst nightmares From the years I’ve lost Why do they not let me go With autumn The light loses power With autumn I can hide inside The dark comes back Oh the dark comes back If I call your name Do you hear at all? Even when it’s on me To live again through it all I can feel the past Tryin’ to not go insane Lies soft as a lock Scratching inside my veins With autumn The light loses power With autumn My friend Darkness is back My mind’s almost hurting Kidnapped through the night By what caused scars And still doesn’t let go With autumn Miss Sunshine I’ll miss you In autumn I lose the game Please Don’t come back The dark comes back It’s back
