Prayer

Somewhere in the discourse
Do you see me
Wrapped up in a wrong cause
All neon and
Glowing on the floor
Cause all I see are red panes
Shining from the brake lights
A cool bare back
Draped in nighttime
Embarrassed to say
I love you more

But I'll change
To meet you
I breathe you
From my thought
I'll wait
To greet you
And I can see you
You're not far

The end is near
The end is near
The end is near
I know
We'll disappear
We'll disappear
We'll disappear
For sure

I'm making up my own mind
Learning all the facts
In the wrong time
Can't you understand
Why I'm upset
All I hear are
Bad things
Creeping from the background
My superstitions in the wrong house
What I could kill for
Coming all this way?

I'll change
To meet you
I breathe you
From my thought
I'll wait
To greet you
I see you
You're not far

The end is near
The end is near
The end is near
I know
We'll disappear
We'll disappear
We'll disappear
For sure, for sure

In light, you stare around me
Through me
Although you had no knowledge
I am exposed to the moon
I rest in that spotlight
And though you barely perceive me
Light cannot complete me
'Cause I am made for the dark
I used to be
I would cheat baking in sun
Coughing up shadows and deep velvet
Consoling my duplicity
Yellow eyes and see-through skin
The light lessened me
That light dried me thin
'Cause I am made for the dark
And spaces even darker
I exist best in the dark
My fears are nursed in the dark
On that sour breast that soothes me
I laugh in the dark
Black gums and ivory teeth
You search the ground in this dark
Afraid, exposed
Hands and knees to the earth
My belly sits to the floor
Still, I glide to darker spaces
It's home
(I know, I know, know
I know, know
I know, I know, know
I know, know)
I laugh in the dark
You search the ground
In the dark
('Cause I am made for the dark)
And spaces even darker
I exist best in the dark
You grip your chest in the dark
'Cause I am made for the dark
And spaces even darker
