tired of humming in the wires never knowing how the light gets freed
suture up the wound but the soul finds a hole in me
hemming through the cloth and the moth and the coat are one
but the spiders too close to untangle the webs he's spun
you can make a tower of sticks and it's a tower all the same
whittle the wood till' it seems good, little shelter from the rain
but the winds do gust and the wheels of rust get locomotion
on the cold hard ground/and a beckoning chain chants my name
till' i'm praying now nobody comes around
i don't blame any of the sinners out tonight
doing wrong in the dark, you know it's only starving for the light
i'm an actor in the play and the lines in my head and i stand at the side
of the stage/when the lights soak me up i'll say goodbye
return to god like a moth in the flame
i believe everything i read/seeing gods hand now in everything
smiling at strangers in the street/its true you never know who'll you meet
its going well so well you could say it's complete
but lord tonight i can't do good/shouldn't go down again but i know i could
when it gets this low, gets this low again
if there was an easy fix i would, i probably would
eyes on the prize and hold on/ it's darkest now soon the dawn
it's darkest now, soon dawn
darkness now, darkness now.
