I have to turn off the lights
to know what i'm
feeling deep down inside
otherwise i don't know how i
feel in the light
i am no longer a child
i've forgotten how to cry
he says, she says, they say,
i stopped hearing
what i say
let me cry, like a child
i have to burn inside
my own fire
burning keeps me alive
otherwise i will die
no more burning light
i have to give it a try
try to remember what its like
he said, she said, they said
i stopped hearing
the child in my head
let me cry, like a child
