Lyrics
Hanging on by the last loose thread
Feeling barely connected, holding on precariously
Cut myself with the daggers in my head
Experiencing mental anguish, self-inflicted pain
Bow i don't open my mouth
Choosing silence to prevent emotional overflow
So the blood won't come pouring out
Suppressing emotions to avoid expressing pain
Horrors in the dark
Reference to frightening experiences in the unknown
You see when you close your eyes
Acknowledging inner fears when shutting out reality
I don't think they go away
Doubting that fears disappear when ignored
We just look at them another way
Perceiving fears differently, not eliminating them
We just hang on for another day
Enduring despite fears, surviving another day
Mother won't sleep in the bed she made
Mother facing consequences of her choices
Chose the chemical and gave the rest away
Opting for substances and abandoning responsibilities
No love for the seed she sowed
Lack of care for the results of her actions
He found the sunlight on his own
Someone finding their own path despite parental absence
Horrors in the dark
Repeated reference to frightening experiences
You see when you close your eyes
Recognizing internal fears even when eyes are shut
I don't think they go away
Suspecting that fears persist despite avoidance
We just look at them another way
Changing perspective on fears without eliminating them
We just hang on for another day
Enduring despite fears, striving for another day
Brother, i see a tree in you
Seeing resilience or strength in a sibling
White oak branches stretched towards the moon
Perceiving growth despite challenges (symbolized by tree)
Knotted roots only made you stronger
Overcoming hardships, becoming more robust
Wish you'd held on a little longer
Regretting the loss of someone who struggled
Horrors in the dark
Recurrence of terrifying experiences in life
You see when you close your eyes
Acknowledging internal fears even when closing eyes
I don't think they go away
Doubting the disappearance of fears through avoidance
We just look at them another way
Changing perspective on fears without erasing them
We look at them another way
Adapting to endure despite fears
