Light of the World

lyrics

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Cut through the sandy switchbacks
The rocks were saws and blades
An unholy, sky-sized silence
Come rained on our parade
Buying toys as compensation
Confusing want with need
I’ve been to hell and back again,
You cut me and I bleed
You cut me and I bleed

I stuck to the most obvious,
Used words I hoped would sting
So blinded by your vanity,
You didn’t see a thing
I personified deception
Threw in some hate and fear
I did all that I could to prove
There are no saviours here
There are no saviours here

Chorus
We’ve walked too far in the wrong direction
Down in the dark underworld
We’re gonna head in a new direction
Look for the light of the world

The full moon pours its heart out
The night owl calls a truce
A fire burns on the hillside
Brings the chickens home to roost
Surrounded by the helpless,
They’ll only slow us down
They need to look for kindness
On the other side of town
On the other side of town.
Our brains are like a lumber house
Our prisons are our minds
Been drained of some ingredient
Can’t seem to read the signs.
Our obstinate refusal
Our narrowness unfurls
It’s got ‘em all convinced they are
The centre of the world.
They are the centre of the world.

Chorus

Bridge

Won’t you give me consolation
Been knocking in vain on your door.
I’ve always given in to life’s temptations
And then it goes and gives me some more.

Chorus
