Speak without words
Smile when it hurts
I cover my scars
And all the ways my soul sets me apart
Tell me I'm wrong
Find me some way to be
I know you're frightened but you're aching to be close
And somewhere out there are the ones that you'll be glad you chose
So you decide, at the fading of the light
Make yourself pretty for the monsters
And head out into the night
Wake up from sleep
Dreamless but sweet
Embers like stars
Still laboring to heal our broken hearts
Tell me I'm wrong
Find me some way to be
I know you're frightened but you're aching to be close
And somewhere out there are the ones that you'll be glad you chose
So you prepare, at the fading of the light
Make yourself pretty for the monsters
And head out
We pass this way only once
Gather all your pieces up and build something new
We break inside, but we won't hide
Channel all we have into the lives we pursue
I know you're frightened and you have all right to be
But somewhere out there is that someone who can set you free
So once again, at the fading of the light
Make yourself pretty for the monsters
And head out into the night
