Torchlight

Torchlight on their shadows
Daylight to the black
I've been holding onto something but I'm giving it back
If I could reach out to you dear
If I could reach back over time
Well I would hold you and tell you that one day we'll be alright
But some times people let you down
And sometimes evil is a quiet town
Where nobody wants to hear your truth
And nobody's wants to believe you
But I do, I do and someone out there will too
Torchlight in a locked room
Unwind and untangle this mess
If I could go back I'd hide you somewhere they would never guess
Cause you're a blank page right now
But they'll cover you in ink and black your heart out
If anybody tells you not to tell, don't listen
'Cause sometimes people let you down
And sometimes the wrong kings are crowned
And nobody wants to see the truth
And nobody wants to believe you
But I do, I do and someone out there does too
Torchlight on you
Unwind and untangle this mess
Unwind and untangle this mess
Unwind and untangle this mess
And hold on tight we're gonna drag the dark into the torchlight
