How Actions Speak

 

How Actions Speak

It creeps in when the evening cools
They said it never gets cold here
but my body knows they lied Something waits beyond the shadows
past my sister’s faint outline
something cold, patient, unseen I don’t want to be alone tonight
Sky, keep the sun a little longer
I’m not ready for the dark Stay — even if it’s just a lie
Tell me the monsters aren’t real
Tell me I’m not alone I don’t need you to fight the night
Just hold the darkness back one more hour
If it takes soft lies to keep me breathing
I’ll take them If I keep thinking about it
the walls start closing in
I’d give anything to skip
the bad dreams, the same old haunt I don’t want to be alone tonight
Sky, don’t let the sun go
Swear it on this hollow soul Stay a little longer
Tell me once more
the monsters aren’t real
Tell me once more
I’m not alone
