Developments

We get in our own way We're tripping on our feet Filling up our heads too much With words too hard to speak Drowning in a place Where the night can not escape Commit ourselves into the depths Exposed against the page Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds A flash, a flood, and it's burned into our eyes And I can't explain enough And I won't let it last the night I'll show you that the image is still there unseen It's darkest before the light If we shut our eyes to see The things that we have lost inside the lines between Between the black and white Where everything goes grey And everything's unsaid, undone, and the negative bleeds away To reveal the memory That we've waited for so long for The image shifts as the acid drips down the paper to the floor Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds A flash, a flood, and it's burned into our eyes And I can't explain enough And I won't let it last the night I'll show you that the image is still there unseen It's darkest before the light If we shut our eyes to see The things that we have lost inside the lines between We're so nervous to see if we we've let too much in If we, if we were out of focus or out of frame I know It's a moment of truth If a recollection reflects reality Or if it's lost forever And I can't explain enough And I won't let it last the night I'll show you that the image is still there unseen It's darkest before the light If we shut our eyes to see The things that we have lost inside the lines between And I can't explain enough And I won't let it last The image is still there unseen
