Little Dark Age
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Breathing in the dark
Lying on its side
The ruins of the day
Painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out
The less it wants to try
The feelings start to rot
One wink at a time
Oh, forgiving who you are
For what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide
It doesn’t go away
When you get out of bed
Don’t end up stranded
Horrified with each stone
On the stage
My little dark age
Picking through the cards
Knowing what’s nearby
The carvings on the face
Say they find it hard
And the engine’s failed again
All limits of disguise
The humor’s not the same
Coming from denial
Oh, I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn’t go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides
It doesn’t go away
If I get out of bed
You’ll see me standing all alone
Horrified
On the stage
My little dark age
Giddy with delight
Seeing what’s to come
The image of the dead
Dead ends in my mind
Policemen swear to God
Love’s seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed
Come find us standing on the bridge
Bring a stone
All the rage
My little dark age
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn’t go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
All alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
