Black Light

from There Will Be Tears by Own Road

/

lyrics

I am black light
Everything bright
Only in time
All the days will show what’s right

I’m frozen still
You’re half gone
I dare not breathe
Lest you lose grip on this world

All the days
Fall away
A pall of grey
Over us
This is the way
We turn away
From the love
And from the light

Take off your face
Caked on like clay
So thick it peels
Like blubber from a whale

Run for your life
Blind, panicked prey
The fear flooding
Empty bodies borne away

Lost my way
On the way
To the door
To the light
As the day
Ebbs away
We are smoke
We ignite
