[Intro] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, steady kick drum] I'm still pretty broken I can usually pretend I'm okay If you really want to be closer You'll see the darkness someday [guitar opens up] I don't need your pity I just need you here When I start to fall apart Don't lose heart, stay near [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion, crashing cymbals] If you can understand where it all comes from That deep black hole tearing at my soul If you can understand, could you hold on? Maybe you could forgive when the darkness comes [Post-Chorus] [syncopated guitar riff] [Verse 2] [clean arpeggiated guitar, bass pulse] Somedays I can't feel Somedays I disappear It's not that I don't want you It's just the storm is here [distorted guitar enters] I keep my ragged edges hidden At times the cracks break through Avoid the deepening shadow Lest the event horizon get a hold of you [Chorus] [full band, high energy] I don't need your pity, I just need you here When I start to fall apart, don't lose heart, stay near If you can understand where it all comes from That deep black hole tearing at my soul If you can understand, could you hold on? Maybe you could forgive when the darkness comes [Bridge] [half-time feel, palm-muted guitars] If I'm quiet, don't get close Some nights are heavy, somedays I lose control I'm trying to shield you, but the force is too strong Just meet me softly, just hold me close And don't let go [Guitar Solo] [melodic distorted lead guitar, double-time drums] [Chorus] [maximum intensity] If you can understand where it all comes from That deep black hole tearing at my soul If you can understand, could you hold on? Maybe you could forgive when the darkness comes If you can understand Stay with me tonight Keep me from falling Where there is no light [Outro] [heavy guitar riffing, rapid drum fills] [feedback swell, abrupt stop]
