I tried to leave the light on
But the bright sun eclipsed its feeble beams
And sitting in the sight of that which blinds, tore me at the seams
Harsh palpitations that tunneled my view
Eyesight grew warped, distorted and skewed
An accidental item
Hear the light hum by the lonely son
Striving to be right, I fight this sordid fight against the other one
Cold? Sure I am, but I can't help but be
Transmute the pain 'to kinetic energy
Tonight, you've survived out of pity and spite
All night, you have vied for your place in the light
But I won't be split in two
Won't be him or you
We will be combined, whether that be dead or alive
Let's blur these lines
Languish in the numbers, falling under
Drowning in the code
The questions we have pondered, time we've squandered
Don't you feel we're owed?
Please, help decipher this life that we lead
For each step that we take, the answer takes three
Humility's a virtue; pride, a sin
Or so it has been said
But everytime I've hurt you, or at least tried to
You've laughed and smiled instead
Kicked, scorned and damned by the forces that be
Not ever once did you fall to your knees
Tonight, we've survived out of pity and spite
All night, we have vied for the black or the white
But I want to be like
You are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into
Mine
Something will heal, lost in thought
Something has dawned
Something has been lost in wrought
Something has shone
All of the else will fade away
We ought to leave a light on
Leave a light on underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye
I believe in you
Open the window, look out and see me
That sad, sulking mess, this human you're being
Tonight, I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight, all the black, and the grey and the white
And I want to be like
Meek is the one light
I want to see your
Eyes looking back and out through mine
With doubt consigned to drought
Let ardour sprout, 'cause
Tonight, I'm surmising the sum of my parts
Alight, twined in mind, and in soul, and in heart
Could thrive, live, combined as one
Fuse the moon and sun
Change your point of views
Let us variate these hues...
