Its different
When you tell yourself
That no one loves you
When it's the dead of night
And there is no one there to hear you
But when its the middle of the day
And the house is full to bursting
With those that claim to be family
And the tears escape in body wrenching sobs
That echo off the thin, plain, white walls
And escape out the open door
And not a single soul
Stops to wonder if maybe
I was lying,
That I'm absolutely
Not okay
So one day you decided you were tired of feeling so bleak
Like an eternal nighy sky
Had taken root inside
So you went to the dollar store
Bought all the glow sticks you could carry
And when you got home
You cracked them until they broke
Pouring the neon liquids
Into your mom's favorite chipped coffee cup
You said you only wanted to feel light
To have something to extinguish the dark
So you drank the poisioned promise Saying,
This time I'll fight my demons with neon lights
