Lyrics

Illuminant

In our time

Oh you never know for sure

While you follow the people

That really got nothing on you

Why do they make you feel small?

Anyway…

In silence

Its alright

You can be the beautiful one

Shine a light

On broken signs

Between language and thought

Holding onto fictions you want to believe

Or an ignorant bliss, to set you free

Anyway…

And when it’s gone

It’s gone for you like all of us

Want to belong, belong here

And when it’s gone

It’s gone for you like anyone

Wants to belong, belong here

Wants to belong

Wants to belong, here

Anyway…

How the light

How’s the light get in?

How the light

How the light gets in

I hope you work it all out
