How did you get so dark
With all this sunshine around
How did you get so pale
It's coming from the inside
Running through the pipes of this town
Filling hearts like wind fills a sail
Now family friends and strangers
Will lift your chain and go
"Smile, kid, smile" until you know
Real darkness
Real darkness
Real darkness
Lock the bathroom door and I pain my face so white
You never see me in the daytime
Maybe you'll see me tonight
My mind is always spinning
Every day I'm digging a hole
I'll probably climb out when I'm ready but the climbing is slow
You can hold my hand through these years
Or you can look away
But my stuff is real like your stuff
And I'll be you someday anyway
Now family friends and strangers
Will lift your chain and go
"Smile, kid, smile" until you know
Real darkness
Real darkness
Real darkness
