NOTHING BRIGHTER
Haven't seen nothing brighter,
Running light on a wire...
O my chest it felt tighter
'Till our hearts they caught fire
Wasn't looking for something
That's when it finds you, they say
Haven't seen nothing brighter,
Please don't take it away
After all aren't we animal?
Just ruins fine-tuned
By all that time's let go:
Gentle ghosts in the room...
And we lay at their altars
And we pray like we do
Begging the pardon
Of the garden's prize bloom...
And your tongue is a flower, darling
Wild against it your truth—
Ravaged by a fire—
Call it a flame to hold onto...
Wasn't looking for something
That's when it finds you, they say
Haven't seen nothing brighter,
Please don't take it away
Wasn't looking for something
That's when it finds you, they say
Haven't seen nothing brighter,
Please don't take it away
Haven't seen nothing brighter,
Please don't take it away
