Piercing Dread of Light

Lyrics

I come when the light forgets When the fire burns down I wrap the world in dusk And make you think it's calm

I hold the fears of the living I let your secrets speak A whispered, "You're forgiven." Then bury what you seek

I flinch I fade I am not brave I am not real

I am a fraud, a trick of the night Master of endings, thief of the right Each spin a new game That ends just the same- I am darkness with no place to hide From the piercing dread of light

But then you lit a candle Didn't ask. Didn't wait The walls I built dissolved I gave you back your fate

I flinch I fade I am not brave I am not real

I am a fraud, a trick of the night Master of endings, thief of the right Each spin a new game That ends just the same- I am darkness with no place to hide From the piercing dread of light

I am not a force I'm the failure of one I am not a presence I'm what's left when it's gone I was never the answer I was never the start Just the crack Between the light And your heart

I am a fraud, a trick of the night Master of endings, thief of the right Each spin a new game That ends just the same- I am darkness with no place to hide From the piercing dread of light

I am darkness with no place to hide From the piercing dread of light
