[Verse 1]
I run away, I run away to get my heavenly fix
A little truth, a little lie, I get the perfect mix
Call up a shrink, a medium, I need an exorcist
I'm letting out, I'm letting in, I'm working through some shit
I don't wanna feel this weight
Crushing me like I'm not delicate
This is my revenant
[Chorus]
Time to stare it dead in the face
There's no other way around it
I can run from it, but I can't hide
Seen the elephant from every side
Now I'm standing on the cold quayside
Screaming elegiеs into the night
Screaming, save mе from the wreck I am
Pull me under, pull me up again
I'm so done believing I've been living in sin
[Post-Chorus]
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
[Verse 2]
A little faith, a little faith, a little courage now
Up on the wing, up on a wave, onto another town
It's gonna feel a little strange, and then a lot somehow
But if I'm learning anything, I gotta not back down
I've been terrified to change my fate
Took an emotional holiday from all this disarray
[Chorus]
It's time to stare it dead in the face
There's no other way around it
I can run from it, but I can't hide
Seen the elephant from every side
Now I'm standing on the cold quayside
Screaming elegies into the night
Screaming, save me from the wreck I am
Pull me under, pull me up again
I'm so done believing I've been living in sin
[Post-Chorus]
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
[Chorus]
I can run from it, but I can't hide
Seen the elephant from every side
Now I'm standing on the cold quayside
Screaming elegies into the night
Screaming, save me from the wreck I am
Pull me under, pull me up again
I'm so done believing I've been living in sin
[Post-Chorus]
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
Let the light back
Let the light back in
