In The Dark

(albüm: Unlovely - 2020)

These must be the colors of returning
And this must be the way the darkness tastes
I heard it long before I ever listened
Like hearing a hailstorm from the bottom of a lake

Tell me where do my eyes go when they're not on you?
And where is my voice when I don't call your name?
The moment is far too brief for all of this waiting
So come watch the earth turn with me, and the daylight change

How can we wake without question when all of the world is burning?
Suddenly all on our way and at once so far
Lying awake like the morning might take us where words can't follow
Waiting to find our way in the dark

Can you hear the light grow from its shadow?
Can you count the days? They all fall away
We let the morning rise over our worries
Just one bright sheet of moonlight, few nights past the full

How can we wake without question when all of the world is burning?
Suddenly all on our way and at once so far
Lying awake like the morning might take us where words can't follow
Waiting to find our way in the dark
