[night:]


[Intro:]

I don't keep, yeah

I don’t keep, yeah

Yeah


[Hook:]

I don't keep lights in the room, just me by myself, yeah

I don't wake up with the sun, just dream by myself, yeah

Looking in got me feeling lost, sitting ’round's easy, but I wonder what's the cost, yeah, ay

Nightmares running through your head make you scream by yourself (self-self-self-self)


[Verse 1:]

All in your head, doubtin' yourself, hell that you feel

All in your head, but if you're stuck in there all of the time? That shit is real

I had a dream, all of the laughing around me was at me, and nobody called

I had a dream, I loved somebody, somebody died, shit was my fault

I'm seeing black, blacker than pitch

Middle of night, out in the woods

Black in my room, I do not go where it's sunny and yellow, I know that I should

I had a dream, threw out a picture of you and I never saw yellow again

Everyday muted in blue and some red

Walking around like I'm made of regret

I had a dream, I was like 2’11" and never met anyone’s eyes

I had a dream, I took a pill, I'm fucking finished and no-one’s surprised

I had a dream, I had one eye and nobody told me, this whole fuckin' time

I had a dream, god was a mailman, so I told him my name and he died

I had a dream, I'm at the circus, everyone thought I was one of the clowns

I had a dream, (there was a war) I never got to go back to my town

I had a dream, I was at Shaw's in the lot, just whipping around and around

I had a dream, looked at my life, up in the air and it never came down, down


[Hook:]

I don’t keep lights in the room, just me by myself, yeah

I don't wake up with the sun, just dream by myself, yeah

Looking in got me feeling lost, sitting 'round's easy, but I wonder what's the cost, yeah, ay

Nightmares running through your head make you scream by yourself (self-self-self-self)

All in your head

All in your head

All in your head (self-self-self-self)


[light:]


[Hook 2:]

Open your eyes, don't run and hide

Just look up high, I trust in you, (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Don't close your eyes, I know they're wide

Don't go inside, come out and move


[Verse 2:]

I'm tired so I stopped digging holes in my head

I'm not meant to roll over in bed and stay safe

Either I make haste or mostly just take breaks, but steady's a great pace

And I ran away from questions

And I ran away from research

And I ran away from lessons

And I ran away from people

And I ran away from the schoolhouse

And I ran away from the steeple, yeah

People might like you if you let 'em

So far in your head that you hardly met 'em

Just play this and stand tall

Even if your light flickers, dim in late Fall

Every Winter got a Spring, dandelions in the yard will have you feeling like a King

And when you lose all the yellow and you're shook

Take a look at how you move instead of wondering where to look
