Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit

Creeping up a wall of glass I'm entirely made of sand Lurching up. Feeding back What the canyon wants, the canyon gets And the canyon craves an apology and a pound of flesh I thought I felt I thought I saw I thought I knew So much chatter Let there be shade Un-illuminate Nothing will change If you don't lead with your shadow Let there be shade Un-illuminate Exhale the plague Cloud your vision An unpainted corner My kingdom come Silence tells me I can't escape it Now we write our names on the moon in blood I have set us back twenty centuries All the letters sent with no address Is he talking to or talking down to me? They'll kill us They'll kill us They'll kill us, if they have the chance I hear their conversations They'd kill us if they had the chance I'll be the first to take it I still feel like someone is watching Though I'm not sure if that someone is listening It don't matter much to my suffering Because I know for a fact no one's answering Let there be shade Un-illuminate Nothing will change If you don't lead with your shadow I was on the shoulders of leviathans But I couldn't see through the fog of anger And I failed myself like I did before My work is lost. All my reckoning Back to sin. Back to shame Back into the quicksand Guarding an empty house Guarding an empty house I have lost everything I had found Sorrow will overcome Sorrow will overcome --- Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit - Every Time I Die
