Leave the Light On

[Intro: jarring high-pitched ear-piercing electronic feedback screech] [Verse 1: unhinged frantic whispering] The wires are snapping inside my head... [Pre-Chorus: rapid chaotic drum acceleration] [Chorus: AGGRESSIVE SCREAMING, HARSH VOCAL SHRIEK, DISTORTED NOISE WALL] BREAK IT DOWN! NOISE! CHAOS! [Bridge: erratic glitch stutter effect, mechanical breakdown] [VERSE 1] You came home late I was already gone Not out of the house Just somewhere beyond You said my name Like you always do I looked at the ceiling And thought of the moon There’s nothing to say Nothing to prove You can keep your reasons I don’t need the truth The room turns blue The night comes through And for a moment I forget about you [CHORUS] Don’t look now I’m almost gone Don’t wake me Just leave the light on You wanted someone I wanted you It’s funny how Those things aren’t true And if you find me In another life Don’t call my name Don’t ask me why Just let me pass Like I never knew Like I never Loved you [VERSE 2] Your cigarette burns A hole in the night You stare at the window I stare at the light You say she’s beautiful I say nothing at all Some things get smaller The longer you call I used to wonder Where you went When you closed your eyes Now I don’t wonder Now I just sleep And let the dark Decide [CHORUS] Don’t look now I’m almost gone Don’t wake me Just leave the light on You wanted someone I wanted you It’s funny how Those things aren’t true And if you find me In another life Don’t call my name Don’t ask me why Just let me pass Like I never knew Like I never Loved you [BRIDGE] Maybe tomorrow You’ll notice the room My coat on the chair My perfume Maybe tomorrow You’ll reach for my hand And find only air And understand I wasn’t asking For forever I was asking For tonight You couldn’t see me In the darkness So I stopped Turning on the light [OUTRO] It’s alright Really It’s nothing The moon is beautiful tonight You should look at it Instead of me
