The night is like a blanket that's suffocating the fire
 With a bow to the string and a note from the choir
 I believe, and that's about as far it goes
 When you've been riding on the wings of a bloody murder of crows
 Hold it all out, throw it into the wind
 Let it lay down the line where the drama begins
 Because if everything is covered and teetering on a whim
 You can harmonize the sound of it's insecurity's hymn
 When it's played, yeah, stripped down and shaved
 Shipped off to battle in the shadow of the day
 And if anything is salvaged from the battered up remains
 You can sew it to your jacket [bad word] for the pain
 When it hits, when it speaks
 Lick the blood right off of it's teeth
 You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide
 And figure out that you've [bad word] from the feeling of never leaving alive so

 Hide, sleep with the lights on
 You feel like you can be at peace with the lights on here
 So cover up your face, and fight away that taste
 That makes you want [bad word] and hide, hide, hide
 And sleep with the lights on
 You stand up on your tiny feet when the night's gone here (Night's gone here)
 When the night's gone here

 Swallow that lump inside of your throat
 Open up the closet and push aside all the clothes
 You believe, and never needed more to be said
 To leave you scared of that little gap between the floor and your bed
 So you jump, leaping over all over your options
 And retreat right back to that bed we call a coffin
 To sleep, never actually getting a wink
 Due to all the little devils that dance around in your dreams
 And attack you, pull you under the bed with their hands
 And take away the chance of you ever making a stand
 And if anything actually ever went as you planned
 That you could retrace the steps you ran
 But only if it hits, if it speaks
 You could fight it to the death in the streets
 You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide
 And figure out that you've [bad word] from the feeling of never leaving alive

 So hide, you'll stay awake
 So hide, we all know that you'll stay awake

 Hide, sleep with the lights on
 You feel like you can be at peace with the lights on here
 So cover up your face, and fight away that taste
 That makes you want [bad word] and hide, hide, hide
 And sleep with the lights on
 You stand up on your tiny feet when the night's gone here (Night's gone here)
 When the night's gone here
