Light Leak

Every night it's a struggle To keep light out of my room Blackout blinds are useless There's nothing left to do It's alright I'll let it in Thousand-year-old clusters A hundred kilometres wide Screaming through the window There's nothing left to hide It's alright I'll let it in I can't think of anything It's alright I'll let it win I can't think of anything The beam cuts in at an angle It leaks in through the sides Furniture is blooming Across the knot it rides And the sunlight steeps the grain 'Til it all just looks the same And since I moved my bedposts The stars no longer stream The canvas' erstwhile infininice Demoted to a memory Did the sunlight bleach my brain Or does it all just look the same? And when I saw him climbing I swear I saw him smile His silhouette a perfect step Against the flame that let him fall But the sunlight's not to blame It treats us all the same And yeah my neck is craning But you'd be tired too Twenty days of '22 Somnambulism cast in glue Precedes another day But they all just feel the same And as I watched him plummet I betrayed in me a smile His silhouette a flailing step A burning tree, better him than me To seal another day But they always end the same
