Holy Light

I was born in the west

With a soul of the east

Always wanted to blend

You know they love to tease

I was wide awake

And I just wanted some God damn sleep

And the not knowing it'll be the death of me

What's beyond that holy light

(Staring at that blackness filled with mystery)

How's this work and lord why me

(and answers we could never dream)

Oh what keeps me up at night

(is it ever what it seems)

Are all the things that we don't see

I just wanted to know

But I'm not sure that curtain ever fully parts

Where did you really go

And who the hell is dealing out these cards

Maybe I will grow

But what if I just fall apart

And go right back to the start

What's beyond that holy light

(Staring at that blackness filled with mystery)

How's this work and lord why me

(and answers we could never dream)

Oh what keeps me up at night

(is it ever what it seems)

Are all the things that we don't see

In time this grand design will be made elemental

How could something so complexly woven be so incidental

Coincidence or no was it really meant to be

I'm so unsure beneath a sun that seems to care not for me

What's beyond that holy light

(Staring at that blackness filled with mystery)

How's this work and lord why me

(and answers we could never dream)

Oh what keeps me up at night

(is it ever what it seems)

Are all the things that we don't see
