There's a hole in the sky where the sun used to be
The leaves are black on the blood maple tree
Sickness and sorrow - The darkness in me
Locked with a skeleton key
There's a boy in a room behind a barricaded door
Alone with his secrets and the pills in the drawer
He's crying and shaking - Ashamed on the floor
Speak of this no more
There's a man on the run in a downward slide
Fighting his demons and monsters inside
You can hide the knives but you can't turn the tide
You drown in foolish pride
Hey, boy, do you really wanna die?
Hush, don't say a word - I can see through your lie
It struck a nerve - That look in her eye
That day I learned how to cry
Now there's a crack in my wall so the light can slip in
A tender caress soothing sore skin
But when I'm alone - The line is still thin
Between me and melancholia's grin
Now my door is wide open for all of my friends
No more little secrets and no more loose ends
That's how we grow and that's how it mends
Time to make amends
