It's Dark Inside With You

(album: Midwest Modesty - 2015)

(In the deepest parts of the human heart,
That's where I play a piece of art,
And when I'm done...
Well I can't be held responsible.
Take a look at me now,
Standing oh so tall and proud
When you know that inside
I must be feeling miserable.
Take a look... at me now...
Turn around before you forget your way out.)

Take yourself far away.
Take yourself far from me,
And go to sleep with the lights...

I'm the charm you need, but I always leave.
You just don't know what to believe.
I've always got all my mistakes
Right there in front of me.
It's in everything, oh you don't believe?
Well then take a look at me,
Watch me grind words through my teeth
As I try to sing in key

(And I'm not worth it...)

Take yourself far away.
Take yourself far from me,
And go to sleep with the lights on!

I love the look in your eye
When you beat your wrists,
The sounds it makes.
When your heels, they click,
You know, you know just how to get my...
On an modest night with our thick eyesight,
We spoke of heaven, made out quick.
Like a thief in my sight I saw you,
You tried to get in my... head.

Take yourself far away.
Take yourself far from me,
And go to sleep with the lights on!

Before you take a step... my way,
I want you to know
That you need to go back where you came from!
Seriously!
(Get out!)
