Distant Light of Belonging

So, fall apart

And lay bare your old wounds

Thirty years of knots and tears

And patchwork identities

You're lost in the dark

Reaching out to shadows

Reaching out to feel

Feel something true

 Keep the light on

 

Don't stop believing all because

We're just as lost as we feared

 

Sweet sickly morning glow

Songbird chorus sharpens the blow

The frigid chill of the crash

Stinging regret with cigarette ash

Play the tape back, it's all the same

Hope for better, shake off shame

A flash of guilt, another chance to begin

Another whirlpool pulls you

 

If finding our salvation

Meant reaching the end of your rope

Would you hold out your light

Until the end for me

Until the end of me
