Lights

The colour of night again is
As black as the waves that shake the rocks
Oh moon don't fade to a dim, tear a hole in fabric
To dance down on our skin,
Make silhouettes of our eyelids
Feel the press of our limbs, white as chalk through blindness

Bigger lights are waiting for me
I want the type that hurt my eyes
Blinking as I question why I can't be there tonight
In the hours I fill the silence
Fall between the hands and lines
A silhouette of all the science ache our dreams tonight

Oh break me away from the dim
Too sickly sweet with the silence
As I sink into the sin, your eyes shine with likeness
A gaze that cuts through the skin
Oh slice away at the whiteness
Paint me red with the din, push me into blindness

Bigger lights are waiting for me
I want the type that hurt my eyes
Blinking as I question why I can't be there tonight
In the hours I fill the silence
Fall between the hands and lines
A silhouette of all the science break our seams tonight
