The Light Hurts My Eyes

I just wanna lie here You don't have to stay Click off that lamp, dear You can't carry the weight The light hurts my eyes Or maybe it's nicer to think in the dark Won't show my disguise Can't go very far Just tell her she's sick but don't tell her why Paint on my skin to see into my mind Hearing the hustle and bustle of city folks witty enough to make it back home She's quite tougher, it's rough on her here and all on her own All on her own I don't feel like talking please But one day we'll have conversations about What made us feel heavy Before light came back around I'm sure it'll pass soon I sound like those sad songs that keep your eyes shut The ones that you listen to Rested head til you slowly stand up Even the floor feels comfortable when I'm this vulnerable Forget where new bruises are coming from, insufferable Everything's the same, never felt so different Dangling in space and pushed off by ignorance Weakened like sweaters that fall off their hangers Can't keep up with others and driven by anger, it's true It's easier sometimes to do what you're told Not bat an eye, shrug a shoulder 'Cause maybe what hurts is your pleasant surprise Not sure, all I know is the light hurts my eyes The light hurts my eyes Just tell her she's sick but don't tell her why Paint on my skin to see into my mind Hearing the hustle and bustle of city folks witty enough to make it back home She's quite tougher, it's rough on her here and all on her own All on her own I just need to lie here Can't ask you to stay Click off that lamp, dear
