STRATUS

Could you give me a chance to prove myself
Could you give me a chance to explain
Would you give me a reason to stay
No
'Cause this place has thin walls
So I hear all my flaws straight through them

I'll tell you how
It truly feels
To be alone
To be branded
An enigma
Just an empty drone

Years of adversity
Inside a cage
The madness consuming
Encouraged the rage

Inevitable, be that as it may
The black cloud that lingers
Continues to rain

I just sleep
(Just can't sleep)
I just can't seem to be alone with the lights out
(With the lights out)
Be alone with the lights out
I'm not okay
No, not this way

To be alone
With the lights out
The lights out

Forever cursed with this fate
Forever made of glass
Easy to break

Respect earned
Just for laughter's sake
Don't let it show
Just smile
And try not to break

We all fall down
Sooner or later in
I fight, but whatever for?

Whatever for?

I fight, I fight
But whatever for?

I just sleep
(Just can't sleep)
I just can't seem to be alone with the lights out
(With the lights out)
Be alone with the lights out
(With the lights out)
I'm not okay
(I'm not okay)
No, not this way
(No, not this way)

To be alone
With the lights out
The lights out
