There was a moment when the choir grew out from my chest
They sang of black curtains, what was behind them no one else knew
There was a precious pain, it twirled me around in the rain
That warming gleam in the distance turned into taillights, sped off and forgot
I'll keep the light on
I'll hang up my sorrows
But I'll take them down every now and then
I'll wear them around my friends
I remember that one reprise
It left a haunting scar on my thigh
Tragic people will always surround you and there's
Nothing anyone can do
We're stuck in an endless train system
But if I had the choice I'd do it all again
Those moments alone in the car flood through me
Like a sea that erases sin
Sometimes I'll cry, I'll still go too far
I'll still leave a crowded room
I'll still search the lot for that car
Sometimes I'll fall, I'll get up on my own
I'll still ignore calls,
Still stay on sinking ships for a little too long
But I'll keep the light on
I'll hang up my sorrows
But I'll take them down every now and then
And I'll wear them around my friend
I'll fold my dreadful thoughts
Into a million paper birds
They'll carry me into tomorrow
And I'll leave the rest below
