Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1: The Heart] 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 [Verse 2: The Mind] 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 [Chorus: The Soul] 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 [Verse 3: The Mind] 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 [Verse 4: The Heart] Humility's a virtue; pride, a sin Or so it has been said But every time 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 [Chorus: The Heart & The Mind] 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 [Bridge: The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, All] Something will heal, lost in thought Something has dawned Something must feel, lest they rot Something has shone All of the else will fade away [Verse 5: Whole] 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 [Chorus: Whole, All] 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, 'cos [Post-Chorus: All] 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
