I Can Be the Night

You're coming to life

Stringing together all the pieces you untied

And are you afraid?

Of this thing that you made

Very elegantly created

Now the weather is crying

It's ideal can't you feel the lightning in the air?

Now cover my eyes

This vision was yours to begin with

Now I am blind

All it takes is the pull of the lever

But I can't seem to bring down the fever tonight

I can't be the light

That you wanted to shine

I can't be the light

I can only be

Only be the night

I was designed

To make you believe there was someone else inside

It was far from what you had in mind

To transform me was to have me reborn

From your lies

All it takes is the spin of the wheel

But I can't seem to try and conceal my own sutures

And it's true I'd do anything to

Escape from you to make my own maddening future

I can't be the light

That you wanted to shine

I can't be the light

I can only be

Only be the night
