The Bright Service

I hope you rest

Tonight

I'll sing it right

I'll sing

The bright service

Lend me your heart

A while

I'll start

To sing you the bright service

Oh

One of the hardest things I think I've learned is

How much easier it is to see the shadows than the light

Makes for a better song too

Who wants to hear if you're looking up Thea

It's the darkness that makes you relatable to

That makes you, you.

And I get that

I do

But here's the thing

It's been a tough few years

I know you know

We've all just muddled through

But I've been paying more attention

To what I pay attention to

And there's a short in the circuit somewhere

And it's deep at the root

At the centre of the algorithm

And the algorithm's coming for you

Make no mistake.

It takes a lot more energy these days not to hate doesn't it?

But here's my light

Brace yourself

This won't take long

I got the choice

And I think I was doing it wrong

The choice isn't which side are you on

At the risk of sounding dumb

I think its..

Yeah..

It's love.

Don't get me wrong

I see the cracks

I'm still the belligerent

Malcontent

Original insomniac

And when I eventually sleep

My heart still takes me back

Born like a tsunami

A one woman army

Took a pharmacy to calm me

I am intimately familiar with the wringer

And when all else was lost

I still had the middle finger

But now

I've learned the curve

Learned to lean in

Found some temporary meaning

And when I wake up?

I wake up dreaming

I wake up dreaming

I wake up dreaming

Do you?

Oh

Just hold it tight

Keep it in sight

Tonight I'll sing

The bright service

It's time to rise

Just close your eyes

Tonight

I'll sing

The bright service

Oh
