Born In The Dark

(album: Before & After Life - 2021)

When you finally expire
You are sleeping alone in the dark
You can finally retire
You can finally go let go of your spark

How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
Close to me

You say "walk me out
See if I am really an original"
You say "walk me out
I have nothing left for me to prove"

How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
Close to me

How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
Close to me

Close to me, close to me
Close to me, close to me

We are born in the dark
We die the same way
We're igniting a spark
We snuff out one day
And we're barely around
We're the wind
So we go where we're blowing

We are born in the dark
And we never know why
We can breathe from the start
We can't help but cry
And we mourn for the past
But the past doesn't know where we're going

We are born in the dark
And we never know how
We don't know what we want
But we want it right now
And the light hits our face
Begins to inform our beginning

How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
How'd you ever get so close?
Close to me

We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
We are born in the dark
