lyrics

somewhere out there, softly spoken
there’s a boy in the dark and his hands are broken
and he’s giving up

he held too tight onto everything
that he thought would change the world he’s in
but it’s way too much
and he’s not enough

touch my neck
and hold on tight
just don't lose grip
i’ll be alright
‘cause something out there calling;
say my name

give me one more reason
why i should run away
it's so much safer here,
the shadows know my name
and all my other options
are not for your concern
just know i love you and
i hope this doesn't hurt
(we know it will)

he opens up these dusty boxes
in the basement with his father’s name
it’s all the same
the genie’s lamp he holds so close
but fears to open up that ghost again
(the shadows grin)

‘cause who’s to say the luck will start to show
the fear, the ever-blinding glow is growing closer
the shadows moving slower
“who says that I need you anymore?”
he screams at no one in particular
the room is filled with hospital equipment

give me one more reason
why i should follow suit
the monsters in my closet
all resemble parts of you
and if this genie’s honest,
i’ll give him one last shot
but if he twists the truth again
there will be something left to rot

i'll trade my three wishes
and i'll trade my three wishes
and i'll trade my three wishes

and i’ll trade my three wishes
for a sink that’s full of dishes
your old record collection
and one more afternoon with you
