Dark Days

Clouds and looming grey
Light grows dark again
I am left alone, here
I am at home

In these dark days, I tell myself
Like dawn she'll break over the edge of me
And when she does I'll find myself
So light, so bright, unbroken. I'll be free.

Mornings fade away
I grow old again
Have to run and hide
I cannot bear their searching eyes

In my dreams, it is dark. You are dying
While the sun laughs and drinks in its drowning pool
I can't swim, and your shoreline's too far from me
But the stars smile and sing sleeping songs all for you

In these dark days, I tell myself
Some star might sing a single song for me
And when she does, I'll find myself
So light, so bright.

In these dark days, I tell myself
A burning sun is all that's left in me
When it wakes up, I'll find myself
So light, so bright, unbroken. I'll be free.
