Keep The Lights On by Close Your Eyes

Everything that I despise
Consumes me when I close my eyes
I don't know if I can change the way I feel
Despite the light that you have shone
The dark has become what I know
And I am fighting to find my way out of it
I am trying so hard to forget
This (1)________________ (2)____________ feeling that stirs (3)____________ my chest
The fear in me always (4)__________ me down
The (5)__________ I feel will not let me get up again
I'm (6)______________ by the weight
I was (7)______________ then, (8)________________ and innocent
I (9)__________ thought my words (10)__________ mean so much
But I am older now, I should be screaming out
So why is it that I keep my mouth shut?
Why do I try so hard to forget
The forgiveness that is in your hands
And the mercy in (11)________ words?
You are (12)______________ me to (13)________ you and find rest
And leave (14)____________ the emptiness
That holds me in the dark
That (15)__________ me in the dark

I hope you can (16)________ me
I'll (17)________ singing this song
Even if there's no air left
And dirt fills up these lungs
Please (18)________ the lights on
I am (19)____________ to make it home
The sun is sinking
But I won't go down (20)________ it
Please keep the (21)____________ on
I am trying to make it home
The sun is sinking
But I won't go (22)________ (23)________ it

The sun is sinking
The sun is sinking
The sun is sinking
I won't go (24)________ with it
