Ilena - No One's Around

No one's around to listen in
The dark breathes hard upon my skin
I see this as reckoning
Something must change within
City rises as a fog
On my window when lights are off
I cocoon myself a shell
No one will help you if you don't help yourself
I go out in black attire
Dip my head with a smile
Give a performance worth their while, still
You don't have to say that
I owe them debts, I must collect
I collect
I coalesce
I read the books, I know enough
It's bittersweet how I know so much
In light that I'd never stop
This way of life, no, I won't give habits up
Tried to be still when up split the dawn
These days I sleep with no curtains drawn
To my chest, I hold a box
It tumbles as I fall
This heart so culpable
I go out in black attire
Dip my head with a smile
Give a performance worth their while, still
You don't have to say that
I owe them debts, I must collect
I collect
I coalesce
