lyrics

I found the light in the quiet;
in the spaces between you and I.
in the basement
i was enraged but i kept it inside.
and i tried but you were vacant
i wish you would shake me
and take me aside
walking in silence
letting the pavement finally decide.

there's a light in your heart
i can see that it's there
even when it's not there
there's a car in the fog
on the bridge it's clear
go check your face in the mirror
are your eyes still tired
are your lips still chapped
have your teeth grown straight
is your tongue held back.
there's a hole in your hand
it's the size of everyone
you ever tried to hold on to

if it came down to you or me
i think you're better off alone
if it came down to you or me
i think i'm better off alone
