Stealing Dark From The Night Sky

(album: This Mess We're In - 2022)

I sleep to dream in this old house
Only wake for the night
The city's queen and she holds me
Till the first sight of daylight

Trying to get through the breakdown
Find a way out of this town
Or in a lake of fire we'll surely drown
That's alright if you're with me

And that's why I'll run
From the shine of the sun
Thats stealing dark from the night sky

My heart is yours for the taking
If you want to take it
I know you're scared you might break it
Girl, it's been breaking all my life

I've been running on empty
Like the ones here before me
And all this hurt our hearts are hauling
Hurts a little less each day

And that's why we'll run
From the shine of the sun
Thats stealing dark from the night sky

And I held you close to me
Showed you where my heart would be
So when it came time again for me to leave
You'd be carrying a part of me

Let's try to get through the breakdown
Find a way out of this town
Or in a lake of fire we'll surely drown
But that's alright if you're with me

And that's why we'll run
From the shine of the sun
Stealing dark from the night sky
For our lives we'll run
From the shine of the sun...
Stealing dark from the night sky
