[Intro]
[Verse]
There's a sky
full of lights
, and none of
them stars
But each white
, silvery flic
ker's, a faith
ful reminder t
o us
Of a weight th
at's in youth,
that makes a
dick of us all
If it happened
today, then i
t's probably h
appened before
In a crowd unf
amiliar, I jus
t wanna touch
a familiar fac
e
And make frien
ds at the part
ies I've feare
d, the likes o
f an age
To be wanted w
ith truth, and
make formidab
le love
See light in m
yself, that I
see inside eve
ryone else I k
now
[Verse]
It's not a lac
king of spine,
nor of physic
al pulse
It's just a fe
eling of dista
nce, akin to a
feeling of lo
ss
Of love in the
youth, of my
limited life
That passed in
a violent, an
d ritual screw
ing inside
the years unfa
miliar, are ma
de of increasi
ngly digital d
ays
And I am griev
ing the loss o
f myself, with
frightening m
alaise
When there's w
eightness in y
outh, and the
sum of it's sm
all
Just stand in
the darkness,
and laugh with
your heel on
its throat
[Chorus]
'Coz not
everything me
ans something
honey
So say the uns
ayable, say th
e most human o
f things
And if everyth
ing is tempora
ry, I
Will bear the
unbearable, te
rrible tritene
ss of being
[Post Chorus]
Alone in my ho
use
Frozen in time
But don't get
me wrong now h
oney
I'm trying
[Break]
[Verse]
There's a warm
th in the eyes
and a clearne
ss of thought
When the deepe
st of sighs an
d the frankest
of shadows ar
e gone
We're pushing
a stone, up a
mountainous wa
ste
And the lines
at the store l
ook like lines
on a beautifu
l face
See, I'm not s
o assured, nor
unusually str
ong or outstan
dingly brave
I'm more just
fumbling aroun
d in the dark,
for the bulk
of my day
When there's w
eight that's i
n youth and th
e sum of it's
small
I will stand i
n the darkness
and laugh wit
h my heel on i
ts throat
[Chorus]
'Coz not
everything me
ans something
honey
So say the uns
ayable, say th
e most human o
f things
And if everyth
ing is tempora
ry, I
Will bear the
unbearable, te
rrible tritene
ss of being
[Post Chorus]
Alone in my ho
use
Frozen in time
But don't get
me wrong now h
oney, I'm Okay
[Break]
[Bridge]
Ah cast me a l
ine, ah honey
cast me a line
Won't you fear
me tonight? G
oddamn do you
fear me tonigh
t?
Ah pass me a l
ight, ah honey
pass me a lig
ht
Won't you feel
me tonight? G
oddamn do you
feel me tonigh
t?
[Chorus]
'Coz not
everything me
ans something
honey
So say the uns
ayable, say th
e most human o
f things
And if everyth
ing is tempora
ry, I
Will bear the
unbearable, te
rrible tritene
ss of being
