Days Are Darker

Dying light, take my hands

And run them through

We’ll make oceans from the wells in the earth

Take the poison from my tongue

And syphon it in your blood, in your blood

Looming dark, take the love that’s been promised and run away

Let’s run away

So where will I go when the time comes

Lord only knows who cares

Days are darker earlier now

And I can feel the blackness coming right over me

Learn to see without the sun

You’ll thank me later when God comes ‘round to pick up debris

Load me up on consequence

A failing shadow’s out to see

How I did not prepare for this

Covers all of what’s in front of me

I feel the salt, deep

Nothing where I sit

I miss the soft, sweet

Taste of your lips

I saw the line, drawn

Over my face

It turns into awful and formless shape

It stays

Days are darker earlier now

And I can feel the blackness coming right over me

Learn to see without the sun

You’ll thank me later when God comes ‘round to pick up debris

Stuck in terminal conflict

A marionette

Tucked in underneath rubble

This can’t be it

Days are darker earlier now

And I can feel the blackness coming right over me, over me

I’ve learned to see without the sun

You’ll thank me later when God comes ‘round to pick up debris

Oh, there’s nothing left here

So take all my fears

And drown them out with the light

The bells are screaming in my ears

They say I’ve wasted my life
