You were gone for a month while I slept on the couch
Trying hard not to dream trying hard not to think
About all the bad things that could happen today
I've been in a dark palce
Full of nightmares and pain
Shine some light on me
I've been feeling pretty weak and the futures looking bleak
Shine some light on me
It's just so hard to speak
When heavy words make you sink
You were dancing with dreams on the opposite side
Of the country where you took a stab at your life
Found how fragile our bones and our bodies can be
Well at least there it's warm
By the Atlantic sea
Shine some light on me
I've been freezing fucking col over on the West coast
Shine some light on me
It's been buckets of rain here in sweet Oregon state
Dracula's dead dancing daughter
Don't dance with me no more on dangerous waters
Petrified purely by pain
Prettiest girl pirouettes off the stage
Please just give me more time
I just needed more time
Shine some light on me
I've been feeling fucking weak and the futures looking bleak
Shine some light on me
it's been dark damp and cold over on the West coast
Shine some light on me
It's been buckets of rain here in sweet Oregon state
Shine some light on me
Hate when things start to change I can only stay the same
