Leave The Light On

About this track
"Leave The Light On" is about trying to come back into yourself after someone has got too far under your skin. It is about that strange aftershock where they are gone, but the rooms still remember them. The mirror still feels wrong. The house still has their shape in it. You keep looking for yourself like you might reappear if you stay still long enough. This one is not about being saved. It is about leaving one small light on while you crawl your way back. --Lyrics-- You got in where the stitches gave Softest cut I ever knew You moving under my skin Like my body knew it was you I went pale in the bathroom light Couldn't wash your name away Water ran, but the sink stayed black As the tiles blur out of shape I stand still in the mirror Waiting for my mind to clear I keep looking for myself Like I might reappear Leave the light on I'm still finding my way back in Leave the light on My whole body forgets my skin I keep calling, I keep crawling From the hall, back into it Leave the light on I'm still finding my way back in There's a glass by the bedroom wall With a cracked white ring of guilt There's a mouth in every quiet room Saying this is what you built I wore love like a bruise too long Held it there to make it mean Now the house hums in my sleep And it sounds like your machine I keep missing the outline Of the girl I was before I keep hearing the lock turn Though you don't live here anymore Leave the light on I'm still finding my way back in Leave the light on My whole body forgets my skin I keep calling, I keep crawling From the hall, back into it Leave the light on I'm still finding my way back in You don't get to keep What you tore open You don't get to stay In my blood unspoken If I'm breaking, let it be Like a shell and not a wound Let me split into a thing That can finally leave this room Leave the light on I'm not dying, I'm coming back in Leave the light on I can feel my name under my skin Still crawling, still calling But the dark's not swallowing it Leave the light on I'm still finding my way back in Leave the light on Leave the light on I can feel myself under my skin #triphop #darktriphop #artelectronica #noirpop #darkelectronic #femalevocal #73bpm #slowburn #haunted #dissociative #intimate #latenight #moody #emotional #recovery #selfreclamation #cinematic #underground #LoveBotArmy
