Developments

We get in our way
We're tripping on our feet
Filling up our heads too much
With words too hard to speak
Drowning in a place
Where the night cannot escape
Commit ourselves into the depths
Exposed against the page
Caught in a phrase
An echo in our minds
A flash, a flood
And it's burned into our eyes
And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
It's darkest before the light
If we shut our eyes to see
The things that we have lost inside the lines between
Between the black and white
Where everything goes grey
And everything's unsaid, undone
And the negative bleeds away
To reveal the memory
That we waited for so long for
The image shifts as the acid drips
Down the paper to the floor
Caught in a phrase
An echo in our minds
A flash, a flood
And it's burned into our eyes
And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
It's darkest before the light
If we shut our eyes to see
The things that we have lost inside the lines between
We're so nervous to see
If we've let too much in
If we, if we were out of focus or out of frame
I know it's a moment of truth
If a recollection reflects reality
Or if it's lost forever
And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I'll show you that the image is still there, unseen
It's darkest before the light
If we shut our eyes to see
The things that we have lost inside the lines between
And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last
The image is still there unseen
