Keep The Lights On by Close Your Eyes

Everything that I despise
Consumes me when I (1)__________ my eyes
I don't know if I can (2)____________ the way I feel
Despite the (3)__________ that you have shone
The dark has become what I know
And I am fighting to (4)________ my way out of it
I am trying so (5)________ to forget
This (6)________________ (7)____________ feeling (8)________ stirs inside my chest
The fear in me always drags me down
The guilt I (9)________ will not let me get up again
I'm crushed by the weight
I was (10)______________ then, careless and innocent
I never thought my (11)__________ could (12)________ so much
But I am (13)__________ now, I should be screaming out
So why is it that I keep my mouth shut?
Why do I try so (14)________ to forget
The forgiveness that is in your hands
And the mercy in your words?
You are calling me to (15)________ you and find rest
And leave behind the emptiness
That (16)__________ me in the dark
That holds me in the dark

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

The sun is sinking
The sun is sinking
The sun is sinking
I won't go down with it
