The Light, the Fire

Your eyes tend to remind me so frequently

The cold and distant light of these heavenly bodies

I know too well that I’m the only one to blame, I’m sorry

I knew where we’d be led but I just kept walking

Now, I see the light, the fire devouring the coal

Now I’m used to singing with the monster I’ve become

To dream of the gold in the river

Oh, the nights have become longer to stand

And the dawn is harder to wake each day

These nights have stolen the best of me

And what is left should never be yours

I’m fading with the gleam of a far-off firmament

My soul weeps an ocean I can’t seem to drain

I’m drowning in these waters

Sink as deep as I can sink

I know too well that I’m the only to blame

I’m sorry

I knew where I’d be led

I’ve spent my whole life

Dreaming of a brighter light

But I doubt you can ever realize

That all these songs to call-off the jinx

Might be everything this world has left me

Now, I see the light, the fire, devouring the coal

Now I’m used to singing with the monster I’ve become

To dream of the gold in the river

Oh, the nights have become longer to stand

The dawn is harder to wake each day

I can’t seem to live with these dreams of you

Fuck!
