The Song They Play Every Night

Dark, ringing through the sky
Shaking in the clouds 'til the harps are out of tune
And the song they play every night
Keeping you awake while the thought sleeps in your soul

And every load I took to fill the hole that caved inside
Just made it deeper, darker, and wider than before
Don't make me say it out loud anymore

And I cop, just to change my scene
And turn a useful nightmare into a boring dream
And my room, like a map of my time
It's always half past twelve and divided by two lines

And every step I took to take me further from the source
Just brought me closer, inward, and more lost than before
Don't make me say it out loud anymore
Oh well, if you don't love me now, you didn't love me before

My love is turning into grief (ah, ah-ah)
And loneliness, thy enemy, is my only relief
From a child lost in a crowd (ah, ah-ah)
Looking for the landmarks that you keep burning down

And every sip I took from cups I carved out of my skull
Just made me older, slower, and sadder than before
Don't make me say it out loud anymore
Oh no, if you don't love me now, you didn't love me before
