lyrics

Forgotten your father's face
there's a snake in your garden
and the wishes in the well have all gone dry
you put up your walls
yours, a heart that has hardened
you snuff out the rushlight where your soul once did shine
 
when the blood in your veins
beats thinner than water
and the souls of your feet lie bare on bitter ground
the taste in your mouth
of that bold, brackish laughter
a reminder that jesters and kings both someday must lose their crowns
 
and all I ever wanted was to know you
all I ever hoped was you'd be coming home
 
I would shine, shine a light, this world could still feel new
You could shine, shine a light, let your light shine through
I won't leave you in the darkness, I am always by your side
we can shine, we can shine, shine a light
 
your shelter is rotten -
and succumbs to the sand
sinking like promises broken and words left unsaid
wearing fear on your sleeve
like a black mourning band
do you dream of days past as you sink in the depths of your bed
 
I would shine, shine a light, this world could still feel new
You could shine, shine a light, let your light shine through
I won't leave you in the darkness, I am always by your side
we can shine, we can shine, shine a light
 
Call on me, I'm saying
Shine, Shine a light
When your sight is fading
Shine a light
There's still hope in heartache
Shine a light
Love is patient, love waits
 
I would shine, shine a light, this world could still feel new
You can shine, shine a light, let your light shine through
I won't leave you in the darkness, I am always by your side
we can shine, we can shine, shine a light
