Recorded in a basement of a friend's house
lyrics
the light that failed
It’s getting dark outside.
Its been that way for years.
Going on seventeen now,
since it got dark in here.
I miss the sky,
I miss the night,
I miss the way darkness would come,
and fade in delight/into light.
I miss your hands,
all padlocked in mine.
Don’t pull away yet
you’ll find your power in time.
And I hope you see.
What you’ve done to me.
Its getting cold outside,
found its way in here.
Well, I’m paper bones now,
stringed muscles float in the air.
I’ve got a snow globe heart
where a red one used to beat.
I remember strength,
but all I see is your back leaving here.
And I hope you see,
What you’ve done to me.
I remember your eyes, how they’d dilate to night.
I remember your mind tore adrenal with fright.
While my mind was sinning God scooped out my eyes.
And while you were leaving I screamed, “Oh you’re my strength, Delilah.”
But I am not proud, that’s not the word I would use.
I am not proud of the things I’ve done or I do.
But please have mercy, for I know exactly what I do.
