If It Makes You Happy (cover)

I Will Follow You Into The Dark

I put my feet at the edge of my bed
Make patterns on the ceiling from the popcorn prints
I watch reruns of my favorite show
An unwelcomed loop of my all time lows

Is this how it starts
A descent into the dark

I’d rather have a handle and box of smokes
Than a sad conversation with my frontal lobe
But the popcorn ceiling tends to draw me in
To the place that I said I wouldn’t go again

Is this how it starts
A descent into the dark

Everything will be alright
And if its not, well that sounds about right

Who pulls the lever that makes me dance
I dont feel power over my own hands
A nervous tick and sideways smirk
A dim lit path that all ends in dirt

Is this how it starts
A descent into the dark

A curly hair kid with a curious look
Who loves making sounds when he reads his book
A scraped off ceiling with some brand new paint
And and man capable of more than just distain

I won’t let it start,
A descent into the dark

Everything will be alright,
And if its not, it will be alright
