Stave It Off

Will this come and go? Or has it been here for a long time?
Could this be a boon? Or is it of my own design?
Hoping through my dreams that it shows up in the sunlight
If it's overdue, then it can't be hard to find

I've been sittin' here waiting for the day to come along
But I've been blind to the silence
I've been sitting here waiting for the beast to show its teeth
But can I handle the brightness?

Whence will this emerge? Or is it at the fore already?
Is it out of my reach? Or is it right there in plain view?
Ooo, it's coming closer, but I can't ward it off
Ooo, it's all over, and it was right under my nose

I've been sittin' here waiting for the day to come along
But I've been blind to the silence
I've been sitting here waiting for the beast to show its teeth
But can I handle the brightness?

Ooo, I gotta stave it off
Stave it off
Stave it off
'Cause I can't handle the brightness, no

I've been afraid of what's underneath
I've been so averse to uncovery
You make things shine when you're lovin' me
But I know what's inside has always been bright
