  • If they adorn themselves with crystals
    To make them look sharp
    Sleep with their hand on a pistol,
    They're afraid of the dark
    Well if it wakes you,
    Which it has to be known to,
    Don't be alarmed
    Darkness can't do you harm
    Fear will hurt you

    And outside, if wind is beating
    A tree to a bed
    Don't fear that it might be meeting
    Some untimely end
    They do what they're supposed to
    But they have been known to
    Stand strong and tall,
    Weather it all
    Take what you can

    Never give orders,
    Just to be obeyed
    Never consider yourself or others
    Without knowing that you'll change
    It may not surprise you,
    But pride has been known to
    Rise up a storm
    Countless lives lost
    At the hands of pride
    And I'll fall

    Who'll weep for them?
    Sometimes I do.
    I do sometimes
    Who weeps for them?
    Sometimes I do.
    I do sometimes
    You can't see it, it might be behind you
    Keep those eyes wide
    You can't see it, it might be behind you
    Keep those eyes wide

    Don't be impressed
    By strong personalities
    Sincere words
    Are rarely sickly sweet
    But if they fool you,
    Which they have been known to
    Don't lose your sight,
    Know something's not right
    And look at the stars

    Be weary of being
    Given a name
    If for some reason
    You're not considered the same
    Once they name you,
    They have been known to
    Lock you in
    Statistical sin
    They'd rather ignore

    Who'll weep for them?
    Sometimes I do.
    I do sometimes
    Who weeps for them?
    Sometimes I do.
    I do sometimes
    You can't see it, it might be behind you
    Keep your eyes wide
    You can't see it, it might be behind you
    Keep those eyes wide
    Keep your eyes on the back of your
    Keep your eyes on the back of your
    Keep your eyes on the back of your mind Writer/s: LAURA BEATRICE MARLING
