Killing Light

I’ll be following every step
You know this town is small enough
And we could meet by chance
And gaze upon the sidewalks
That wouldn’t open up for us

And I’m likely to spend my days
Waiting in the house alone
My medicine in hand
I’ll make up a lie
To make sure that I am comfortable apart

Killing light could never seem to fix me
But I had enough to try my best to defy it
Hand in hand, the never ending story
Of your meaningless goodbyes
Resolved in a worry
A candle in your eye

Simplicity at best is waiting for an entourage
It’s only common sense to pick up a fight
She’s a belly dancer swimming in the flood
And it’s a hell of a lot to say
I’m seeing through the camouflage
And we should know by now
How to survive
We’re killing some before we open up

Killing light could never seem to fix me
But I had enough to try my best to defy it
Hand in hand, the never ending story
Of your meaningless goodbyes
Resolved in a worry
