When the Lights go Out

When the lights go out

And there's no one else around

Do you like yourself

Or do you pretend like you aren't there

When you see yourself for who you are

Are you still staring, or do you look away

Are you happy

When you can't believe you're someone else

When my eyes are closed

There are parts of me I can't ignore

But I love the cracks

They remind me that I'm human

When you feel the cracks in your character

Can you say you've done your best to fill them in

Or do you stare

Do you stare at the person you wish you weren't

Who are you really

Can you answer that question

I know I can't

But can you admit that indecision

When you feel the feelings you feel

When you can't ignore that you're ignoring them all

Do you feel alive

Or does your face still smile blank
