Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone (home)
Noises
I play within my head (head)
Touch my own skin
And hope that I'm still breathin'
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In another place
The only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone (home)
Lights, lights, lights, lights
Lights, lights, lights, lights
(Home) lights, lights, (home) lights, lights
Lights, lights
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone (home)
(Home) lights, lights, (home) lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights (let's go, let's go)
(Home) lights, lights, (home) lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
