The Light, the Fire

Your eyes tend to remind me so frequently The cold and distant light of these heavenly bodies I know too well that I’m the only one to blame, I’m sorry I knew where we’d be led but I just kept walking Now, I see the light, the fire devouring the coal Now I’m used to singing with the monster I’ve become To dream of the gold in the river Oh, the nights have become longer to stand And the dawn is harder to wake each day These nights have stolen the best And what is left should never be yours I’m fading with the gleam of a far-off firmament My soul weeps an ocean I can’t seem to drain I’m drowning in these waters Sink as deep as I can sink I know too well that I’m the only to blame I’m sorry I knew where I’d be led I’ve spent my whole life Dreaming of a brighter light But I doubt you can ever realize That all these songs to call-off the jinx Might be everything this world has left me Now, I see the light, the fire, devouring the call Now I’m used to singing with the monster I’ve become To dream of the gold in the river Oh, the nights have become longer to stand The dawn is harder to wake each day I can’t seem to live with these dreams of you Fuck!
