Closed Eyes

Light in the tunnel sticks
Throat is a stone, it's all we have
In reaching through air so thick
Smoke fills black lungs inside us
And tear drops of rain will float
Arms give out underneath a note
The writer is laid to ground
Dark souls reach up to drag them down, down, down

Through black of night
In light of day
The sirens calling
Through the rain
Been left in pieces
Popping pain pills out of will
Through black of night

Smoke cloaks the grassy ground
As stones' shadows dance beneath the clouds
And a dust is left to ash
Beneath a parent's desperation
As currents of rain will sweep
A storm preacher throws upon the heap
A light in a tunnel meant to keep
But here on the ground we're staring down, down, down

Through black of night
In light of day
The sirens calling
Through the rain
Been left in pieces
Popping pain pills
Out of will
Through black of night

Where we find
Our lost hope crying whine
From your house to mine
Soaked in hops and leaves and vine
To find fine here in terror
Silky red rose lying in an overdose
You blind us terror
Silky red rose lying in an overdose

Through black of night
In light of day
The sirens calling
Through the rain
Been left in pieces
Popping pain pills out of will
Through black of night...
