The dark comes rushing in

Turn the lights out,
let the dark come rushing in.
In this darkness hide,
from the shadows you're living in.
There's no judgement here,
unlike in the light from which
you've been so desperately running.

Close the door now,
keep the world where it belongs.
Take some comfort,
for now it won't be long.
Yeah, I know you were always
an outsider, never did belong.
But hold on now,
there are others like you. Be strong.

Brick by brick, just shut yourself in.
Don't listen to them, just tune out the din.
They'll say a hundred words or more
trying to make you another clone.
They speak a hundred words of love
to keep you a slave to their own way.

Hurry up, hurry up,
run away, run away from this world.
Tarry not, tarry not,
there's nothing here for you.
Come along, come along,
there's another world, just waiting.

Turn out the lights,
let the darkness into your mind.
Let it in, breathe it in,
let it soothe the hurt
and help you understand.
That your tears may fall,
but no one will see them at all.
They are blinded,
they don't see at all.
That your bright spark
now lies in darkness.

Your eyes are closed now
and so is the door.
Lying so comfortable
on that stone cold floor.
You know how it feels now,
to finally let go.
Reveling in this freedom,
you finally do so.
