Night Light

[Verse 1]

In the autumn all I could see

Was the fall in the sunrise

I did not envision this prison

I just live in it for now

My sentence was a hundred years

Of words unheard

You said "you're doing this all wrong"

I'm doing this all wrong

It's getting harder to say what I want to say

I spent all my life in Hell and now

I'm trying to get away

And if you think you have

A reason for someone unqualified at everything

To keep hanging around

Then I would not let you down

No, I would not let you down

[Chorus]

You keep taking me away

From the thunder and the rain

All the storms of yesterday

See the clouds part

It's just the way you say my name

That makes me see another day

A seething athеist prayed for an angel

I flicked my last cigarеtte

In the flickering street light

Now we've both burned out

Goodnight, I love you

Talk to you tomorrow

I drank too much

But I needed you to know

[Verse 2]

I wished wreckage towards the heavens

But I reckon I'm ready for the reckoning

I thought substance abuse could be cute

But now I dream of silence and gardens

If you think you need a needy soul

I'm here on my knees

And ready for the...

Gates of gold

Let me in

Take my heart

Repent my sins

A crown of thorns

A face of tears

The past is dead

The future's here

[Chorus]

You keep taking me away

From the thunder and the rain

All the storms of yesterday

See the clouds part

It's just the way you say my name

That makes me see another day

A seething atheist prayed for an angel

I flicked my last cigarette

In the flickering street light

Now we've both burned out

Goodnight, I love you

Talk to you tomorrow

I drank too much

But I needed you to know

I needed you tonight

I needed you tomorrow

I needed you to no end

I needed you to know
