Tenebrist

(album: Unlovely - 2020)

I'm on the corner
Of hope, fear, and desire
I'm the sum of what I've done
Which is to say I'm really no one
Show me the evidence, yeah
'Cause I can't see what you can sense
This old jukebox is busted
I'm too tired to be trusted
Better sing yourself to sleep

I am your charlatan
A two-way mirror to my following
I'll still be ringing in your ears
Long after every coast is clear
And all the lights are low

We all muddy the water, oh
To make it seem less shallow
If our grief grows like a shadow
And in the morning that's alright
We need the dark to know the light

I am the color of forgiveness
I am the shape of what is wrong
And time, our likely hero
Always there but never here, though
Just sits waiting for himself

We all muddy the water, oh
To make it seem less shallow
If our grief grows like a shadow
And in the morning that's alright
We need the dark to know the light

We all muddy the water, oh
To make it seem less shallow
If our grief grows like a shadow
And in the morning that's alright
We need the dark to know the light

We need the dark to know the light
(We need the dark to know the light)
We need the dark to know the light
(We need the dark to know the light)
We need the dark to know the light
