Iā€™ll see you in the turnaround For now Iā€™m in the shadows and itā€™s easy To talk about the bad, hard to listen for the good Itā€™s bleak right now but Iā€™ll get better soon This is love and it will, this is loss and it will pass The choice he makes every morning Iā€™m trying to live by those words I find it every time I wake The hardest love to obtain is Itā€™s not the one you hug out the door Itā€™s not the one you kiss goodnight Itā€™s the one locked inside your head I donā€™t want to stand in the dark to prove I can blend in with my past The pain you endure is nothing to the love youā€™re gonna feel so soon Oh I hope so I donā€™t want to feel like Iā€™m standing Really need to know if thereā€™s something I can do to get back where I was before I donā€™t wanna feel like Iā€™m moving if Iā€™m just standing still I want to feel like Iā€™m here right now I need to shed some light on my future I know itā€™s blinding but I feel I know the way, I know the way out of here I know I canā€™t be this way forever so Iā€™ll take my chances on things that actually matter I donā€™t want to talk about faith if thatā€™s the only thing you wanna believe I need your hand in mine so that I know Iā€™ll be okay I donā€™t want to feel like Iā€™m standing Really need to know if thereā€™s something I can do to get back where I was before I donā€™t want to feel like Iā€™m moving if Iā€™m just standing still I want to feel like Iā€™m here right now

We're both older now When did we part I wish we'd always have each other I feel for you every day So I'll be strong And not say a word Always shed a smile The rhythm of my footsteps They end at your door My shadow, it blocks the floor So don't you fret Are you there yet Love won't leave You made a choice But I wasn't it These walls look the same When did I grow I wish I didn't watch it go by I think about you all the time And you'll be still and not say a word Always shed a smile The rhythm of your footsteps They end at my door Your shadow blocks the floor So don't you fret Are you there yet Love won't leave You made a choice But I wasn't it It's alright The pain isn't kind Love won't leave I made a choice And I'm better for it We'll make it work We'll make it work We'll make it work We'll make it work So don't you fret Are you there yet Love won't leave I made a choice And I'm better for it

Days Are Darker (feat. Stephen Gerard Kelly) 04:20
lyrics

Dying light, take my hands And run them through Weā€™ll make oceans from the wells in the earth Take the poison from my tongue And syphon it in your blood, in your blood Looming dark, take the love thatā€™s been promised and run away, Letā€™s run away So where will I go when the time comes? Lord only knows who cares Days are darker earlier now, And I can feel the blackness coming right over me Learn to see without the sun, Youā€™ll thank me later when God comes ā€˜round to pick up debris Load me up on consequence A failing shadowā€™s out to see How I did not prepare for this Covers all of whatā€™s in front of me I feel the salt, deep Nothing where I sit I miss the soft, sweet Taste of your lips I saw the line, drawn Over my face It turns into awful and formless shape It stays Days are darker earlier now, And I can feel the blackness coming right over me Learn to see without the sun, Youā€™ll thank me later when God comes ā€˜round to pick up debris Stuck in terminal conflict, A marionette Tucked in underneath rubble This canā€™t be it Days are darker earlier now, And I can feel the blackness coming right over me, over me Iā€™ve learned to see without the sun, Youā€™ll thank me later when God comes ā€˜round to pick up debris Oh, thereā€™s nothing left here So take all my fears, And drown them out with the light The bells are screaming in my ears, They say Iā€™ve wasted my life credits

My demons are whispering to me And I clutch my pillow like a cross I donā€™t know how to make this stop Timeā€™s against me, my spirit's crushed It feels like my last days are ending And Iā€™m laid to rest every night Gotta smash the clocks to make it right Scatter 'round the walls their insides Write it all down the ink I bleed Maybe then Iā€™ll feel relief Feeling rotten to the soul Windows sealed tight shut No escape from myself, no escape from my gods Portraits glimmer in my eye The past has passed so why do I Smile like I did if I donā€™t want this back now I donā€™t know how to make this stop Timeā€™s against me, my spiritā€™s crushed It feels like my last days are ending And Iā€™m laid to rest every night I donā€™t need you anymore I donā€™t know how to make this stop Timeā€™s against me, my spiritā€™s crushed It feels like my last days are ending And Iā€™m laid to rest every night I donā€™t know how to make this stop Planting soil in my dreams watch myself grow in the night Take it in, take my all Make me wish Iā€™m awake at all

I said words that wonā€™t come back, We're missing her and she longs for us. Sin black tar with signs to leave, Folded like a map through a blank white screen. I'm coming home and locking the door I've seen enough and I'm cutting you off Sheets so soft against my core, Tucked me in too tight so, goodnight now Are you safe when weā€™re gone, Your faith in our actions (in our actions) Are we pushing our luck, Or forcing our own fates? Iā€™d rather be bones on the road, Than skin in my own home Letā€™s take it easy tonight, Iā€™m thinking of drawing the lots I said words that wonā€™t come back, We're missing her and she longs for us. Sin black tar with signs to leave, Folded like a map through a blank white screen. I'm coming home and locking the door I've seen enough and I'm cutting you off Sheets so soft against my core, Tucked me in too tight so, goodnight now

Remember when this made me happy Remember when nothing mattered to us Weā€™d run in each direction, no purpose Holding back our fear Smiling ear to ear Holding on to whatā€™s left of here If I could go back I would Well now Iā€™m afraid to fail Time is getting thin Circles thick under my eyes Whyā€™d I stay up so late again Thereā€™s nothing I can do bout tomorrow Except let the past go and die Iā€™ll be up late again I forgot how it felt to be proud Walking off every night I forgot what it meant to lack enemies I used to go home all the time I used to go home feeling right Life with intention Thinking without our thoughts Smiling ear to ear Holding on to whatā€™s left of here If I could go back I would Well now Iā€™m afraid to fail Time is getting thin Circles thick under my eyes Whyā€™d I stay up so late again Thereā€™s nothing I can do bout tomorrow Except let the past go and die Iā€™ll be up late again
