Nightshade, a pretty flower You drink the poison and we count the hours You black out, holding my hand I dream of letting go but I just can't Come clean, dark thing You can breathe the air again and I'll care again Come clean, dark thing Look up to the sky again and I'll try again Come clean, dark thing You can breathe the air again And stop pretending Dark sky, you're barely breathing You're still alive but you're already grieving A headstone, look at what you've become You see the sadness at the center of everyone Come clean, dark thing You can breathe the air again and you'll care again Come clean, dark thing Look into the sky again and you'll try again Come clean, dark thing You can breathe the air again And stop pretending How we sleep, how we lie How we learn to say goodbye You are safe here, you are right here You could promise you could try All your love, all your life All your days of wasted time Come clean, dark thing You can breathe the air again And stop pretending If you say that you want me, too If you say that you need me, too If you say that you love me, too
