Poem
Where do we go when the lights go down what do we do in the dark when there's nowhere to go and nowhere to play save for monsters in our heads. don't turn the lights on baby, don't turn the lights on now, the nights not over and i'm not ready for you to see me while I'm playing with monsters in my head. look away dear please hear me now I'm not always like this not always not like this please don't ask me to change I don't know what i'd leave behind anyways. who am I who am I to you who are you to know (that) what you think is true. I guess I am just what you made me what you parade me 'round to be but after dark when the lights go down and there's nowhere to go and there's no one to play 'cept the monsters in my head... ...do I feel at home, with the cold sweats shivers fingernails in my neck the eyes that are watching see me at my best the voices tell me (that) it's somebody's worst. -still, tough love is true love and no one pushes harder, the monsters are the only ones who push me to be better. don't turn the lights on baby don't turn the lights on now, the night's not over and i'm not ready for you to see me while i'm still working on just who I really am. --- Cause i'm a monster baby a monster now turn the lights on if you want to I'll cast a shadow down you'd better be ready for what you're 'bout to see though, the voice in your head is only faceless in shadow (if) you wanna see your fears then you wanna bring up the sun and if you want them to be real just gotta look them in the eyes oh, turn the lights on baby please turn the lights on now the night's not over and you're not ready the dawn isn't coming you'll never be ready I've been in the dark for so long do I even have a face? haven't seen myself since I was someone else do I even have a face? turn the lights on baby turn the lights on please I've got to know if I am still here I cannot tell if I am real. Turn the lights on baby turn the lights on now I've got to know if I am still here I cannot tell if I am real. Turn the lights on baby turn the lights on now turn the lights on baby turn the lights on.
